Oren,

It is deeply regrettable that you have dismissed this sincere attempt to change the tone of this campaign Your
response clearly indicates that Diane Denish has no interest in laying out her vision for New Mexico, and instead
will rely on millions of dollars in attack ads to distort the record of Susana Martinez.

We remain committed to giving voters an opportunity to engage in the dialogue. Susana has an outstanding
record of standing up for victims, challenging the status quo and taking on corruption. We welcome the opportunity
to showcase her record of reform and bold change. It is unfortunate that you have set aside an opportunity to
engage in a high-minded discussion and it is voters who are at a disadvantage as a result.

Best Regards,

Adam Deguire

Adam,

First, this stunt is blatantly disingenuous given that Susana Martinez has been attacking Diane
Denish’s record and character nearly every day for the past six months. In addition, the timing is
ironic given that just yesterday you launched a negative ad that a reporter has appropriately
called “misleading” and “quite a leap.”

We agree this campaign needs to focus on the issues most important to New Mexico families.
While Susana Martinez was busy launching negative ads against her primary opponent, Diane
Denish put forward substantive proposals to create jobs at New Mexico’s small businesses and
to save the taxpayers $450 million through cost-saving reforms. For the better part of this
campaign, Diane has been the only candidate talking about the issues.

New Mexicans deserve a thoughtful debate on the issues, but it’s remarkably hypocritical for you
to suggest that voters don’t also deserve to know about the candidates’ records. Ms. Martinez
may not want New Mexicans to know the truth about her record, but that hasn’t stopped her
from attacking Diane Denish each and every day.

I’ve now sent you three emails asking for a date when we can discuss a debate schedule. I hope
we can have that meeting soon.

Thanks,

Oren Shur

Oren,

With so much at stake, Susana Martinez believes that New Mexicans deserve a substantive debate about the most
important issues confronting our state and voters have earned the opportunity to review and analyze the visions
and plans each candidate offers.

Unfortunately, your campaign began attacking Susana the day after the primary election concluded with a negative
ad, which has been proven to be false. We are setting the record straight on the crime issue and will never allow
false attacks to go unanswered. But, we believe voters deserve an opportunity to hear from each candidate
concerning their visions and we propose that both campaigns commit to only positive advertising through at least
the end of July. There will be plenty of time to have a healthy debate about the differences between the
candidates this fall.

We ask that you give serious consideration to this proposal. I look forward to your response, so we can change
the tone of this campaign. Following this agreement, I look forward to meeting with you to build a mutually
agreeable general election debate schedule.

Respectfully,

Adam Deguire
