In Remembrance of Charlie Kirk

September 10, 2025 - In Remembrance of Charlie Kirk
Statement from the Republican Party of New Mexico's Chairwoman Amy Barela

Today, we mourn the tragic loss of Charlie Kirk, a devoted family man, a passionate defender of faith and freedom, and a leader who inspired countless young Americans to stand boldly for God and country. Charlie's message was one of conviction, hope, and dialogue. He spoke with courage, but more importantly, he listened to those around him, meeting people where they were and calling us all to a higher purpose.

Charlie's assassination was not just an attack on him, but on the very principles of free speech and civil discourse. It was an act of cowardice, meant to silence a voice that could not be silenced. Let us honor his memory not by falling deeper into division, but by choosing to reach across the aisle. Today, find someone you disagree with politically and begin a conversation about solutions. That is how we resist hate.

As we remember what Charlie Kirk stood for, let us commit ourselves to becoming better people. Let us work with those who hold opposing opinions, listening with respect and maintaining decorum; just as he encouraged and exemplified in his life
It was an honor and privilege to have Charlie here in New Mexico just a few short weeks ago. His movement, his faith, and his unwavering stand for truth will not be forgotten.

May his legacy challenge each of us to live with more courage, more grace, and a renewed commitment to being better citizens.

Amy Barela
RPNM Chairwoman
