LOS LUNAS – The Valencia County Federated Republican Women (VCFRW), a grassroots organization dedicated to promoting Republican principles and ideals and supporting Republican candidates for office, held its second annual “Morning Mixer” at Teofilio’s Restaurant in Los Lunas on Saturday, December 10, 2011.
Several Republican candidates attended the social event with Valencia County Republicans, including all four candidates running for U.S. Senate: Former Congresswoman Heather Wilson, Lt. Governor John Sanchez, Mr. Greg Sowards and Mr. Bill English. Valencia County residents also had the opportunity to meet the three declared candidates for U.S. Congress, District 1: Albuquerque City Councilor Dan Lewis, former state representative Janice Arnold-Jones and Mr. Gary Smith.
Kelly Fajardo of Belen, a small businesswoman and candidate for Valencia County Clerk, also met with Republican activists and voters at the event.
Kristina Estrada, President of the VCFRW, issued the following statement following the event: “We are thrilled that so many of the 2012 Republican candidates attended our second annual morning mixer – an event that also collected toys and other gifts for the children living at El Ranchito de los Ninos, a local foster home alternative. The fact that
so many candidates attended is a testament to the importance of Valencia County in the upcoming 2012 elections. Because Republicans prevailed in every contested race in Valencia County in 2010, candidates recognize that they need to get to know the voters and activists in our county.”
Estrada continued, “Our organization looks forward to providing grassroots support to Republican candidates in 2012, including local ones like Kelly Fajardo, an outstanding candidate for Valencia County Clerk.”
