SANTA FE, N.M. - Today Congressman Steve Pearce filed his nominating petitions, signed by thousands of New Mexican voters, to run as the Republican Candidate for Governor of New Mexico.

“I want to sincerely thank each and every one of the countless volunteers who took the time to sign our petition forms and to collect signatures from their friends, families, and neighbors,” Congressman Pearce said. “Together we are going to ensure that New Mexico - our state we all love so much - is a place where every child has a future, and our families have the security required to follow their dreams. There is much work to be done to fix our education system, fight crime, tackle poverty, and create jobs - and I am grateful to have such widespread support in our efforts."
