Hi folks, Julie here from Drug Policy Alliance NM.

According to a recent New Mexico article - "All four disagree with former Republican Gov. Gary Johnson, who says marijuana should be legalized. But when asked if they would scuttle the state's medical marijuana program, which was started by Richardson, Martinez said yes, while Turner, Domenici and Arnold-Jones said no. "

I am NOT sure where Diane Denish stands on the issue. It could be worth contacting her campaign office and simply asking.

As for the current Lt. Governor candidates this is what I know:
Brian S. Colon (D) - ?

Brian K. Moore (R) - voted YES for the medical marijuana legislation in 2001, 2006, and 2007; voted NO in 2003.

Lawrence D. Rael (D) - ?

Kent L. Cravens (R) - voted YES for the legislation in 2006 and 2007 (2nd vote) as a member of the NM Senate; voted NO for the medical marijuana legislation in 2001, 2005, 2007 (1st vote)

Jose Campos - (D) - voted YES for the medical marijuana legislation as a member of the NM House of Representatives in 2006 and 2007; voted NO in 2003.

John A. Sanchez (R) - ?

Gerald Ortiz Y Pino (D) - sponsored the medical marijuana legislation in the NM Senate in 2007; voted YES every year since 2005

Linda Lopez (D) - voted YES for the medical marijuana legislation as a member of the NM Senate every year since 2001

For those candidates I don't have answers for, I encourage you to call their campaign offices and simply ask. Then post the results here!
