Endorsement letter from Lorraine Torrez

I am a life-long democrat who is now middle aged,  and I will be supporting Allen Weh in this governor’s race. Allen is an honest man who will not stop working until he fixes this state. As someone who is now unemployed and feeling the stress of this economic storm, I want a governor who can bring back jobs to this state and get New Mexico back on its feet. Continue reading

Endorsement letter for Democrat Vidal Trujillo

Ever since I first registered to vote, I have voted strictly Democrat. This is the first year I will be breaking that tradition and voting for a Republican: Allen Weh. After doing research and learning about this man, I was utterly amazed. From his college days to his days in Vietnam and the company he started from the ground, I can’t find one thing Allen has failed at. Continue reading

Endorsement letter from Democrat Elias Sisneros

I am a life-long Democrat who is supporting Allen Weh 100 percent. I’m not a person who votes party line. I vote on my morals and my beliefs. This year, I will be proud to cast my ballot for Col. Weh. He has proven that he is a man of integrity and courage — someone who will fight to the end to make New Mexico a brighter and better place for future generations.

Endorsement Letter from Firefighter Glenn Sveum

Hello, my name is Glenn Sveum, career firefighter and small business owner here in New Mexico.

I would like to pledge my support and vote for Allen Weh for governor of New Mexico, 2010. Having been involved in public safety and government service for the past 20 years, I have seen my share of run-of-the-mill politicians come and go. I have pledged my support to none in that time.

Allen Weh is different. Col. Weh served with distinction and pride for 38 years in the US Marine Corps. Col. Weh has built a business from the ground up to be a successful member of our local business community. Allen Weh’s service and commitment to country and community is undeniable. Continue reading

Endorsement Letter from Firefighter Levi Fetty

Hello, my name is Levi Fetty.

I am writing this letter in support of gubernatorial candidate Allen Weh.  I am supporting Allen Weh because of his commitment to the Department of Public Safety of New Mexico.

I believe Mr. Weh when he speaks of his plans, and ideas for the full funding and staffing for Public Safety.  Mr. Weh is a retired Colonel of the United States Marines and a successful business man within the State of New Mexico, and that tells me he is a leader, both in the board room and in uniform.

Endorsement Letter from Ret. Army Col. Gregory Gardner

I’m writing to you today to tell you about my friend, Colonel Allen Weh, and to encourage you to support him in this race for Governor.  I believe in Allen and fully support his candidacy for Governor; he is an extraordinary leader and a man of the highest character.

Many of you may know that Colonel Weh volunteered for his last tour of duty as a Marine in 2003 and 2004 when he went to Iraq to help create the new Iraqi Army.  That is where I met Allen.  We were both assigned to the Coalition Provisional Authority in Iraq, with his assignment being the Chief of Staff of the Coalition Military Assistance Training Team, comprised of military personnel from all of our military services and several allied nations.

Endorsement letter from James Earl, a man I had the honor of serving with

I would like to take a moment of your time to tell you about a man who wants to be your next governor, Allen Weh, and why I strongly feel that he is the right man for the job. My story goes back to August of 1967 in Vietnam, where I had the honor to serve in battle with then 2nd Lt. Allen Weh and witnessed his decisions that saved lives and allowed our team to accomplish our mission. Ultimately, he would be awarded the Silver Star, one of the highest awards in the U.S. military, for his bravery and decisiveness. Continue reading

Endorsement letter from businessman John Howard

My name is John Howard and I have been closely involved with the Weh family and their business, CSI Aviation, for over twenty-five years.  I am a businessman and an accountant, and like many of you, I am getting involved in politics for the first time because I believe that the stakes are so high for the state of New Mexico that staying silent this year is unacceptable.
