Republican Party of New Mexico Chairman John Billingsley issued the following statement in regards to the passing of Former RPNM Chairman and former Republican gubernatorial candidate John Dendahl:
"The officers and staff at RPNM join me in expressing our deepest condolences to the family and friends of John Dendahl. They will be in our thoughts and prayers, as we honor his memory. As a longtime fighter for Republican principles, there is no doubt that he left his mark not only on the Republican Party of New Mexico, but on the entire state as well.”
"Dendahl advocated for conservative principles and was a strong leader for our Party during his time of service. As a former athlete and competitor, he carried his competitive spirit throughout his leadership role with the Party, working hard to make positive changes. He was known for boldly expressing his convictions and standing for what he believed was right. During his time as Chairman, he worked hard to combat the corruption that existed within individuals within our state government at the time, successfully lead and grew the Party, and left a lasting legacy here in the state of New Mexico.”
