The former GOP candidate receives 80 years in prison for fire at the democrats’ homes

A former republican candidate for a headquarters of New Mexico Cost House was sentenced to 80 years behind bars on Wednesday after having contracted armed men to drive at the home of Democratic officials after his electoral defeat.

Solomon Peña was found guilty of 13 counts earlier this year after orchestrated the attacks on Albuquerque, in New Mexico, just a few weeks after his defeat in November 2022.

He had been accused of conspiracy, of being a criminal in possession of a firearm, four chiefs of intimidation and interference with the activities protected by the federal government, four heads of use or transport of a firearm during and in relation to a crime of violence and three charges of solicitation to commit a crime of violence.

The shots, one of which involved a machine gun, were made between December 4, 2022 and January 3, 2023. Peña personally participated in one of the attacks.

Some of the shots occurred while the children and other parents of the victims were at home, although no one was injured.

The prosecutors said that Peña had organized the shootings in the houses of two commissioners of the Bernalillo County and two legislators from the New Mexico State in response to unsolved claims that electoral fraud contributed to its loss.

“Violence and intimidation do not take place in our elections,” the American lawyer for New Mexico Ryan Ellison said on Wednesday in a statement.

The officials targeted by Peña were all democrats and understood the current president of the State House.

After his unsuccessful campaign, Peña went to the home of the members of the Bernalillo County Council and Press them so as not to certify the results of the elections, claiming that the election had been “faked” against him.

When they refused and certified the results, Peña hired co-conspirators Jose Trujillo and Demetrio Trujillo to make the shots, prosecutors said.

The two men that Peña contracted for the shooting pleaded guilty last year. After his arrest, Peña tried to have the couple murdered to prevent them from testifying.

In addition to the 80 years in prison, Peña received three years of supervised release. His lawyer said he would appeal the conviction.
