Lyons endorses Tinsley in CD2 race

State Land Commissioner Pat Lyons endorsed Republican Ed Tinsley today in the 2nd Congressional District race.

“Ed’s extensive experience with land-management issues, namely within our state’s oil-and-gas and ranching industries, is unparalleled in this primary and marks him as the only candidate in the field who will understand the agricultural and land-trust issues facing New Mexico from the day he is elected,” Lyons said in a release from the Tinsley campaign.

Tinsley said he was “incredibly honored” to have Lyons’ support.

“Pat’s history of public service to our state, from the New Mexico Senate to the office of public lands, has been inspirational to me,” Tinsley said. “I am glad to have Pat’s counsel on the land issues which represent the lifeblood of the economy of our state.”

Lyons and Tinsley were to appear together at events in Roswell, Artesia and Alamogordo on Wednesday.
