Darren White is fond of saying that he left Gov. Johnson's administration because he is a strong supporter of the war on drugs. Now, it appears that he supported Gov. Johnson's drug legalization policies before he was against them.

According to White's campaign website:

White served as Cabinet Secretary for the New Mexico Department of Public Safety under Governor Gary Johnson... White resigned his Cabinet position after Governor Johnson began advocating the legalization of drugs.

But, in 1999, he told the publication Razor Wire:

We're not going to arrest ourselves out of this drug problem. The governor is absolutely right. We should be looking at other options because our current policy is failing.

Which is it, Sheriff? Why did you really leave Gov. Johnson's administration? Was it because your fellow police officers overwhelmingly voted no confidence in your leadership?

New Mexico deserves honest leadership in Congress - not more misleading politicians.
