After a short hiatus, I thought I would return to my blog after receiving a few emails. People are actually reading! So not to disappoint, I will try to keep you updated on a daily basis. With that being said, there is much going on in La Politica scene across the Land of Enchantment!
Congressman Steve Pearce and Congresswoman Heather Wilson are locked in a battle of epic proportion. Recently, Pearce released a new campaign ad branding Wilson as a "liberal." I was not aware that she was, but compared to Pearce, this may be so. All I know is that this election is beginning to look like the Democratic presidential race: Both democratic candidates engaged in a long, drawn out battle, while the Republican makes significant gains in national polls.
Congressman Tom Udall is already the obvious front runner in this race. He has a ton of cash, statewide name recognition and no primary opponent. If this keeps up between the Wilsonites and the Pearceonians; the Udallistas will have much to celebrate in November (along with the Democratic Senate Campaign Committee).
As I have said before much is at stake in this race, but most importantly the security of federal jobs in the state. Udall and Pearce have shaky records of defending such jobs, and a win by either could prove devastating for the thousands with federal jobs in our state.
Recently, congressional candidate Harry Teague has loaned his campaign $475K to fuel his run to Washington. Dona Ana County Commissioner Bill McCamley countered with a check for $47.50, enough for a tank of gas. Kudos Bill, that's the spirit that will get you past Teague in this primary. Just make sure you remind them that a majority of Teague's money came from the pockets bled dry by the gas pump.
That's all for today. Let me know how you feel! Post a comment.
