The source’s perspective

EMERGE is a
GRAVE THREAT
to
ALL New Mexicans !!

New Mexico is #1 in Emerge Alumnae per capita !!
We currently have 125 Emerge alumnae with written contracts to promote their own unified mission, vision, and goals for their own alumnae over the representation of their voter base. 
Not caring to listen to the concerns and wants of their voters, NOT the US Constitution!

They discuss the “Emerge” group which operates in two dozen states. Who funds them? What do they do and what has been happening here in New Mexico with Emerge-recruited and backed candidates?
