The Committee gives the Conservative Barf Bag Award to Kimberly Skaggs, treasurer for the New Mexico Republican Party.
From The Santa Fe New Mexican
A woman who until recently was serving as treasurer of the Republican Party of New Mexico is accused of leaving the scene of a fatal crash with a cyclist in Las Cruces. Kimberly Skaggs, 54, was arrested Wednesday[06/24/26] in connection with the crash, which occurred two days earlier. She faces felony counts of knowingly leaving the scene of a fatal accident and tampering with evidence, according to a criminal complaint filed Wednesday in Doña Ana County Magistrate Court.
Police allege Skaggs struck 40-year-old Andrew Brown on Monday afternoon on the west side of Las Cruces while he was crossing the street on a bicycle. Brown was severely injured and died at the scene, Doña Ana County sheriff’s deputies wrote in an affidavit.

Skaggs also has been a Republican Party candidate in several state legislative races in recent years, running several competitive — but ultimately unsuccessful — campaigns.

The deputies’ affidavit indicates a witness took photos of what investigators suspect was Skaggs’ vehicle leaving the scene after the crash. Sheriff’s deputies arrived at the scene on North Fairacres Road at 2:46 p.m. Monday and spoke with the witness, a deputy wrote. She told investigators she had seen a woman walking around at the scene before getting back into her vehicle and taking off north on Fairacres. The woman provided deputies with photos she had taken of the vehicle — a black Cadillac Escalade with a “Support the Troops” license plate, deputies wrote. Investigators noted there were skid marks from the crash stretching 208 feet down the road and that Brown’s bicycle was broken into several pieces at the scene. Deputies said surveillance video footage from a nearby business showed a driver in a black Escalade passing by “at a high rate of speed,” and an automatic license plate-reader captured the vehicle leaving the area just after the crash. The following evening, deputies executed a search warrant at Skaggs’ home and seized the Escalade, which displayed front-end damage and “blood splatter” consistent with the fatal crash, investigators allege. Deputies wrote the SUV was parked under a carport behind the home. Skaggs was taken into custody Wednesday at the Doña Ana County Sheriff’s Office in Las Cruces, and she was booked into jail shortly before 4 p.m., according to an online inmate database.
