The Democratic Party of New Mexico is calling into question Darren White's competence and qualification to serve in the U.S. House. DPNM Executive Director Josh Geise:

The fact that the people who knew Darren White's work best - the state troopers - had no confidence in him raises serious issues about his leadership and qualifications to serve in Congress. Darren White clearly comes from the George Bush leadership school: ignore anyone that has a dissenting opinion and act despite the risks. That is the last thing we need more of in Washington.

This statement came after the Albuquerque Journal reported on a 1999 vote of no confidence in Darren White's leadership by state troopers. If the people that work with Darren White - who are charged with protecting New Mexicans - don't believe he's a good leader, why does anyone think he would be a good member of Congress?

The fact is that Darren White is not only a George Bush Republican who supports the failed policies of the President's administration, but, now it's also clear that there are serious questions about his competence.
