Weh Airs First Radio Ad of Campaign

Statewide radio spots highlight fiscal sanity, creating jobs

ALBUQUERQUE — New Mexico businessman and gubernatorial candidate Allen Weh launched his first radio ad today.  The ad will run statewide, highlighting his commitment to restore fiscal sanity in Santa Fe and put New Mexicans back to work.

“I’m proud of the strong support we are receiving from people across the state and the grassroots organization that has grown from it,” Weh said. “Now we’re turning it up a notch. We mean business.”

Weh said he plans to continue advertising on radio, television and in the mailbox for the duration of the campaign.

“Given that the Legislature just approved a $200 million tax increase, our message is very timely,” Weh said. “When I’m Governor, I won’t raise taxes to balance the budget; instead, I’ll change the way we do business in Santa Fe and focus on putting New Mexicans back to work.”
