| Description | Ending corruption in New Mexico is one of Susana Martinez’s common themes in her run for governor.
The GOP’s nominee has made the most of the recent scandals in New Mexico, which have almost exclusively involved high-profile Democrats.
“Corruption” and “fraud” pop up routinely in her TV and radio ads. And occasionally her campaign juxtaposes one or both terms with the phrase “Richardson-Denish administration,” an artful conflation that potentially leaves voters with the impression that Martinez’s opponent, Democratic Lt. Gov. Diane Denish, has been involved, or at least helped create an atmosphere leading to abuse and corruption.
For example, this sentence — “The failed policies of the Richardson/Denish Administration have moved our state backward with waste, fraud and abuse running rampant in state government” — from a July 14 Martinez campaign news release. |
