Former Las Cruces Mayor William “Bill” Mattiace endorsed Republican 2nd Congressional District candidate Ed Tinsley today.
Mattiace, in a news release from the Tinsley campaign, cited Tinsley’s “extensive knowledge of the issues affecting the citizens of Las Cruces and Doña Ana County” as the reason for his endorsement.
“Ed is a small-business owner like myself, and with that experience he understands that bringing economic growth to Doña Ana County begins with decreasing the federal tax burden on the backs of individuals and businesses,” Mattiace said. “Ed will fight for increased funding in Washington, which will go towards the recruitment, training and retention of members of the U.S. Border Patrol to help control our borders, and he’ll work to maintain the beauty of the Organ Mountains, which are a national treasure.”
“I am happy to stand in support of a man who will work hard for the citizens of Dona Ana County and will represent New Mexico with integrity in Congress,” said Mattiace, who was Las Cruces mayor from 2003 until his defeat last year.
