GOP renews calls for Montoya to drop out
The New Mexico Republican Party is doubling down on claims that state House candidate Roger Montoya should drop out of the race over revelations that the Democratic candidate appeared in two adult films in his youth despite President Donald Trump being in several adult films two decades ago or more.

Anissa Tinnin said in an interview last week that there’s no comparison between the “reckless behavior” that Montoya engaged in and three movies produced by Playboy in which Trump made cameos. A tape obtained by CNN in 2016 shows Trump chatting with a Playboy Playmate

He appeared in two more Playboy videos: one in 2000 and another in 2001, CNN reported.

to another school.
“I feel like we are making headway in this process, but only time will tell,” Romero said.
Five schools will have only one class — E.J. Martinez, Sweeney, Nava and Salazar elementary schools, plus Amy Biehl Community School. El Camino Real Academy has the most classes out of all schools, with 15.
