Update from The Santa Fe New Mexican on the state senate candidate who failed a true-false test Monday.
State Senate candidate Letitia Montoya on Tuesday apologized for “not making a fuller disclosure” about a past drunken-driving conviction when asked at a political forum this week whether she had ever been arrested for driving while intoxicated.
Montoya said she knows her answer “raises an integrity issue for me, especially with voters who do not know me personally.”
Using written questions from the audience, a moderator asked all District 25 candidates whether they had ever been arrested for DWI. All candidates, including Montoya, said no.
