President of New Mexico's free market think tank, concerned citizen, husband, and father of three girls.
A lot of people disparage the youth these days, but RGF had a great intern this year and we had him on Tipping Point NM to discuss how he became a conservative, his study abroad plans, and more on his future plans and his take on growing up in NM: youtube.com/watch?v=TawaO6…
On this week's Tipping Point NM conversation Paul and Wally discuss: NM's impending demographic problem, Sen. Harold Pope thinks he's running against Trump, and NM's education system at the bottom (again): youtu.be/AlEEt6NE50E
Media outlets @thenewmexican and @PinonPost cover RGF’s attempts to get NM Ethics Commission to explore Stansbury/ Ghislaine Maxwell connections. Check out the complaint and our view here: errorsofenchantment.com/media-outlets-… @bobkkob @1housestrauss
Check out my recent opinion piece highlighting how the outrage from New Mexico's left wing politicians over the BBB's passage is unhinged and out of line with reality: errorsofenchantment.com/bbb-is-not-the… @bobkkob

About to go on @KKOBradio w/ @bobkkob to discuss a number of important issues facing New Mexico. Tune in now 770 AM, 96.3FM.
Spending more money on crosswalks and putting East Central on a "road diet" won't solve pedestrian safety issues. errorsofenchantment.com/costly-east-ce… @KOB4 @krqe @bobkkob @1housestrauss
Just a terrible idea for the federal government to buy tik tok. Hopefully this is at worst a pass-through to a new buyer.
U.S. COMMERCE SECRETARY LUTNICK SAID HE BELIEVES THE TIKTOK SALE WILL GO THROUGH AND THAT THE U.S. WILL END UP PURCHASING THE PLATFORM.
A New Mexico man recently renewed his driver's license under the State's new "Automatic Voter Registration" system. Based on his experience we have concerns about the new system: errorsofenchantment.com/new-mexicos-au… @bobkkob @1housestrauss @NMHouseGOP @NMSenate_GOP
Ugh. We need better deals. Not just "deals." yahoo.com/finance/news/t…
Christopher Sedillo is running for ABQ's 3rd council district against Klarissa Peña. He has completed RGF's candidate survey. You can see his survey here: errorsofenchantment.com/district-3-abq…
Housing affordability is a serious issue, but there are places, mostly in the Midwest, where houses are relatively affordable.
In Oklahoma, we’re changing the narrative that young married couples can’t afford to buy a home. Our housing costs are over 25% lower than the national average. Homeownership should never be out of reach.
I'm so happy for the people of Argentina (some of whom I count as friends after living there) after decades of misrule and socialism.
Javier Milei balanced Argentina’s budget, cut inflation by 80%, and is still winning elections. @NFergus on the radical libertarian success story happening in real time: thefp.com/p/niall-fergus…
I’m running for Congress in New Mexico’s 1st Congressional District! 🇺🇸 I’ve been a proud New Mexican since 1997. I’m a mother, a pharmacist, and a business owner. I’m running because I can’t sit on the sidelines any longer and watch our current congresswoman play politics with…
So we rank 29th in spending but we’re 51st—dead last in the nation +DC. Tell us again about the progress we’re making with the kids. And what about Administrators paychecks? Getting your money’s worth? I’m not!
A new @wallethub report ranks New Mexico's schools 51st out of 50 states + DC. Sadly, this is nothing new and is simply accepted by voters who keep voting for the same failed people and policies. Notably NM's spending ranks 29th: errorsofenchantment.com/wallethub-new-… @bobkkob @NMHouseGOP

What keeps me up at night when it comes to New Mexico's politics/economic policies? At the top of the list is the State's impending demographic crisis. New Mexico is losing its young people at the 2nd-highest rate nationally. @bobkkob @Wirepoints errorsofenchantment.com/new-mexicos-im…
This is a man who’s got his priorities in order. He won before he ever stepped onto that course. Congrats!
