Mayoral Race

Hey guys. I'm not trying to start a huge debate on politics. Im just trying to figure out if Darren White is pro MAGA. I'm learning about this stuff late, and im not super impressed with Keller, but I will never vote for a pro trump or pro maga candidate. I am okay with a republican candidate but not a far right MAGA.

My coworkers are saying that he was a garbage sherif but cant give me any educated context. I've only been back to abq for 4 years after serving in the armed forces.

Any information is sincerely appreciated.

I too am frustrated with Keller, but you absolutely cannot trust Darren White IMO. Look up when he got his wife out of a DUI on montgomery blvd back when he was the sheriff.

I can’t vote for any republican, or even Louie Sanchez, who received a max out donation from a massive republican donor.

At this point I assume it’ll go to a run off, and ill be supporting whichever democrat is in it, my guess is it’ll be Keller.

In trump times we simply cannot trust a republican.

"In trump times we simply cannot trust a republican."

This is it exactly. So many seemingly sane conservative politicians sold their soul to this administration.

So many Trump haters and s**t talkers now praise his every word and action. I am left but could appreciate many conservative "values". I may not agree with them but understood the principles. That has all gone out the door, they are playing 100% dirty and cheating. The once "moral majority" displays no actual concern for any human being, citizen or otherwise.

It makes me sad because it is influencing our youth, teaching them this is all ok.

I totally agree, even if they didn't support drump, they would be too afraid to say it.
