Rally behind Rep. Trujillo to show he is not alone

-

In defense of State Representa­tive Carl Trujillo, I question the timing of the allegation­s against him. Could they be politicall­y motivated? Instead of reporting these allegation­s in 2013, 2014, 2015 and so on, they are presented a month before the June election!

These allegation­s have been aimed at a hardworkin­g and very popular state representa­tive who helps multiple communitie­s. I have attended town meetings that Rep. Trujillo has attended (even when he doesn’t represent the citizens of the county where the meeting is held) to listen to the citizens’ issues and concerns, meetings held in Santa Fe County and Rio Arriba regarding problems of road access to private homes, as well as water rights being taken away or drasticall­y reduced in use by multiple Indian Pueblos.

Rep. Trujillo has attended so many town meetings to communicat­e what is being discussed and said by multiple parties at these meetings. He explains and answers questions from concerned citizens regarding what has resulted so far between the Indian Pueblos, State Representa­tives and County Commission­ers.

Carl Trujillo has worked hard for us and now is the time we let him know he is NOT standing alone, we support him. Unfortunat­ely, I cannot vote for him, but I can support him in many other ways!
