ALBUQUERQUE — Bernalillo County District Attorney and Democratic gubernatorial candidate Sam Bregman spoke out Saturday against opponent Deb Haaland after her campaign posted a link to his tax records — information he says put his elderly mother and adult daughter in potential danger.
A page on Haaland’s campaign website titled “Get the Facts” criticized Bregman for owning multiple properties and racehorses, apparently seeking to portray him as an out-of-touch elite. But it was the accompanying link to his tax records — including parcel ID numbers — that drew Bregman’s sharpest response.
“One, maybe two clicks away from actually knowing where my 88-year-old mother lives, where my daughter with her husband and my two granddaughters live,” Bregman said in a statement to KOAT.
Bregman contacted Haaland’s campaign last week, requesting the link be removed. The campaign took it down promptly.
Haaland has not publicly commented. Campaign spokesperson Hannah Menchhoff said in a statement that the campaign “did not publish Sam’s addresses or anything that is not already publicly available.”
The page nonetheless aggregated the records in a format that gave any website visitor easy access to Bregman’s personal property information.
