Amb. Joe Wilson Guest Blog: Why I Endorse Marty Chavez for Congress in NM-1

This is a guest blog by former U.S. diplomat and Ambassador, Joe Wilson, who resides in New Mexico with his wife and two children.

“In economic and political times like these, we need strong, proven leaders that will fight for and protect middle-class families. That's why I'm proud to endorse my friend Marty Chavez for U.S. Congress in New Mexico's 1st Congressional district because he is the kind of leader that can propose real solutions to our nation's problems.

Marty Chavez knows what's wrong in Washington. And he has shown the kind of leadership necessary to fix it. During his time as Mayor of Albuquerque, I saw Marty put forward a slate of ideas that created jobs and improved the city from top to bottom. Under his leadership, Albuquerque was named one of the “greenest cities in the country” and Forbes magazine said his work made the city the “#1 Place to Do Business.”
