On May 14, 2022, the Albuquerque Journal endorsed Robert S. Godshall for the House District 27 Republican primary. The Journal opined that, "He believes sanctuary policies place unnecessary barriers between local and federal law enforcement agencies, and allow criminal foreign nationals to avoid investigation and prosecution. His voice is greatly needed in a Legislature that largely turns a blind eye to illegal immigration." The Journal further noted that I favor stiffer conditions for pre-trial release especially in cases involving violent crimes. 

Not included in the endorsement but discussed with the editorial board were improvements that can be made in the state's tax structure by eliminating the gross receipts tax and going to a sales tax spread out to involve a larger base with a lower rate. We can also improve our access to usable water by desalinating some of the 16 billion acre feet of brackish water in our state. I also advocated more school choice and competition by attaching funding to the student to allow students more freedom in where they want to go to school.

One of the great things about knocking on the doors of voters is that I get to see so many of you that understand what is important. The other day I was talking to a woman that pointed out that we have such low expectations of people in this state. We have so many students that are not expected to read or do simple mathematics at grade level or do the academic work necessary to graduate. The lack of expectations for our children continues as they get older into adulthood. People should be expected to support themselves, do the right thing for their children, not live on the streets, and conduct themselves in a dignified manner. It is possible to do better if we expect to do better. 

​Thanks to the more than 160 registered Republican voters that signed my nominating petition, I am on the ballot for the June 7, 2022 primary. We have a unique opportunity this year to elect people that can actually do something about reducing crime instead of just flapping their gums. We can put qualified educators in charge that understand our children can, and should be expected to, do better. We can implement a tax system that will not punish business and we can streamline needless regulations that hamper business. We can take advantage of the 16 billion acre feet of brackish water (that's a lot of water) with an effective de-salination program. In other words, this state can be raised up from the poverty it knows now to the prosperity that can easily be in its future. Sign up now and be part of the movement to improve our future.
