Retired WSMR general endorses Tinsley

Retired Brigadier General Jerry Laws formally announced on Sunday that he is endorsing Ed Tinsley in New Mexico’s 2nd Congressional District Republican primary.

“Ed Tinsley is his own man, and he carries a no-nonsense approach to the important issues facing New Mexico,” Laws said in a news release from the Tinsley campaign. “After knowing Ed for five years, I can attest to his strong understanding of the national security issues facing our district – from standing firm for our nation’s sovereignty in opposition to illegal immigration to providing our men and woman in uniform with the resources they need to keep our country safe and secure.”

“Ed will be a strong advocate in Congress for the thousands of military personnel who defend our nation at Holloman Air Force Base and White Sands Missile Range and call southern New Mexico home,” he said.

Tinsley said he is “truly honored” to have the endorsement of Laws, “an American patriot.”

“I am proud to call Jerry a friend and look forward to his counsel during the general-election campaign,” Tinsley said.
