Tipping Point New Mexico Paul Gessing

On this week's Tipping Point interview Paul talks to independent researcher Leanna Derrick. Derrick has been working to uncover and highlight the outsized influence of "progressive" group Emerge New Mexico which recruits, trains, and funds left wing women in public office throughout New Mexico. They discuss the "Emerge" group which operates in two dozen states. Who funds them? What do they do and what has been happening here in New Mexico with Emerge-recruited and backed candidates? Check out this important conversation. Leanna Derrick can be reached by email at: 68sharpie@gmail.com

In this week's interview Paul sits down with District 1 GOP congressional candidate Louie Sanchez. Louie has a compelling story having grown up in a family of modest means. He now is involved in the medical device industry and owns Calibers gun range. Paul and Louie discuss the medical industry, 2nd amendment issues, COVID, and Rep. Melanie Stansbury's radical record in Congress (among other things). Check out their conversation here!
