The Next Lt. Governor
My name is Ant Thornton, and I’m running to become the next Lieutenant Governor of our beautiful state.
I’m running because the corruption in Michelle Lujan Grisham’s administration is out of control.
I’ve spent my life working as an aerospace engineer — but I don’t think you have to be a rocket scientist to see that Democratic policies have failed and wrecked our state.

The Supreme Court’s ruling today is a victory for federalism, and means that the power has been returned to the people of the states, where it belongs.
MLG’s radical views on abortion up to the moment of birth are extreme and out of step with the majority of New Mexicans. When we defeat her in November, we have an opportunity to pass more moderate legislation on abortion AND to pursue policies that genuinely support mothers and families. ... See MoreSee Less

Lt. Governor Race - Final Votes:
Ant Thornton 64,314 (59.7%)
Peggy Muller-Aragon 43,362 (40.3%)
Ant Thornton won 26 of the 33 counties in NM. In the seven counties where I lost (Socorro, McKinley, Rio Arriba, Taos, Mora, San Miguel, and Guadalupe) , I lost by a cumulative total of only 600 votes.
Overall, not a bad showing. The key concern is that we had only 25% of registered voters turn out to vote. If we want to win in November, we need to do much better in our Get Out The Vote efforts. ... See MoreSee Less

We need to STOP being satisfied with the status quo in New Mexico's education system... what we have been doing the last 20+ years isn't working. How do I know? Seventy percent (70%) of our kids cannot read at grade level and eighty percent (80%) of our kids cannot do math at grade level. Our current Governor has no interest in improving student outcomes... however, YOU as PARENTS should have an interest in preparing your children to be productive members in society. ...

This past Saturday, for the 1st time in over two years, we went with another couple to a movie theater to watch “Top Gun: Maverick”!
Excellent, fun, exciting and entertaining movie. I highly recommend it. No “wokeness”, just solid, raw, patriotic feelings throughout.
Given that I used to work at the Skunk Works in Palmdale, CA, I was jazzed up to see their concept for a hypersonic aircraft (the successor to the SR-71 Blackbird)… which by the way is under serious consideration by the aerospace engineers within their Advanced Development Programs, brought to life on screen. My work at Sandia and initially at the Skunk Works was in hypersonic vehicle analysis.
