“Who’s the Threat?” by Mike Luckovich, Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Solomon Pena ran for State Representative of New Mexico’s House District 14 last November, lost by about two thousand votes and claimed on social media that he should have won the election. On Monday, January 16, Albuquerque police arrested Pena with charges of paying four other men to shoot at the homes of two county commissioners and two state legislators. Police said Pena was present on at least one of the shootings.
