McCamley touts newspaper endorsements

Democratic 2nd Congressional District candidate Bill McCamley is claiming widespread support across the district after three newspapers have endorsed him in recent days.

I’ve already written about the Las Cruces Sun-News endorsing McCamley, but the newspaper was joined in backing him in recent days by the Roswell Daily Record and the Silver City Daily Press.

“McCamley is committed to taking a different approach to representing southern New Mexico. We feel he represents real change,” the Daily Press editorial stated. “Why not try electing someone who’s not a rich oilman from the eastern part of the state for a change.”

The editorial also called McCamley “a strong campaigner with what we feel is a greater potential to beat a Republican in the general election.”

The Daily Record described McCamley’s “infectious enthusiasm and hopefulness for the future of our country” and how he “can talk intelligently about government operations and domestic and foreign policy. His outspoken manner might ruffle some feathers on Capitol Hill, but he backs up his passion with sound principles weighted with intelligent insights.”

The Daily Record said “a hard-charging idealist with the smarts to back up his objectives and the unflagging energy of youth seems to be the best candidate for the job. We need a lawmaker who will not get lost in the shuffle and will inspire those around him with his fervor.”

McCamley said in a news release that he is “grateful that newspapers in such diverse parts of the district have all endorsed my candidacy.”

“They recognize that this election is about who the best candidate is to bring change to Washington, and I’m pleased they believe that I am that candidate,” he said.

As I’ve disclosed in the past, I’m friends with McCamley. Click here to read more about that.
