Al Sharpton

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- Rev. Al Sharpton came to New Mexico last week to address the state legislature and Gov. Susana Martinez during the state’s budget crisis. Sharpton is one of the most well-known and vocal civil rights activists in the country. He said that every American should have been proud to see Martinez become the first Latina governor in U.S. history. According to Sharpton, Martinez’s historic win shows great progress. However, Sharpton, who’s a Democrat, said that she needs to keep in mind that she’s the result of years of struggle, especially while she comes up with ways to curb the budget deficit. “I didn’t come, despite the fact that I’m from another party, to attack her. Hopefully to appeal to her to remember the people that we hope she keeps the doors open and not penalize the wrong people in her budget cuts and in her economic decisions for the state,” Sharpton said.
