Campaign website

Torrez's campaign website stated the following:

Experienced Leadership

New Mexico needs a strong, experienced leader who isn’t afraid to stand up to protect our families. That’s why Raúl is running. As a proven and dedicated public servant, Raúl has taken on the toughest jobs during the crime crisis. He has shown that he won’t back down when it comes to protecting our community, and he knows that structural change is necessary to prevent and combat crime in New Mexico. That’s the kind of tenacity and leadership New Mexicans deserve in the Attorney General’s Office - someone who will never give up on building a better future for ourselves and the next generations.

Taking on Right-Wing Militia

Raúl was the first prosecutor in the country to sue a heavily armed, right-wing militia to prevent them from policing our streets or intimidating people from exercising their free speech rights. He took action to require Facebook to turn over information about extremists who were recruiting people to engage in criminality. As Attorney General, Raúl will stand up against extremism and protect our democracy.

The Only Prosecutor Running for Attorney General

Democrat Raúl Torrez is an experienced prosecutor and the only candidate who has actually prosecuted criminals in a courtroom. Raúl has successfully prosecuted murderers, rapists, and child abusers, and will use his experience to make our communities safer. New Mexico needs a prosecutor, not a politician as our next Attorney General. Raúl works every day to protect New Mexico’s families and he knows the job is never done.[2]
