Capitol siege, immigration issues mark congressional debate

Republican Congressional Candidate Mark Moores

SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — Republican congressional candidate Mark Moores went on the attack against a Democratic opponent in a final pair of network television debates ahead of the June 1 election to fill an open seat based in the Albuquerque area.

Moores on Monday denounced a “radical agenda” from Democratic congressional nominee Melanie Stansbury on immigration, policing, the minimum wage and more.

Stansbury rarely engaged in direct retorts as she defended her support for a $15 minimum wage, reforms to address police misconduct and systemic racism, and a more humanitarian approach to immigration.

In his only televised debate opportunity, independent congressional candidate Aubrey Dunn Jr. cast himself as an alternative to partisan bickering.
