Heather Wilson to Launch N.M. Senate Bid
Roll Call ^ | March 4, 2011 | Kyle Trygstad

Posted on 03/04/2011 6:24:54 PM PST by Clintonfatigued

Former Rep. Heather Wilson will announce Monday that she is running for New Mexico’s open Senate seat, a GOP source confirmed to Roll Call.

Wilson told Roll Call in early January that she was considering running for the seat. At the time, she had just finished chairing incoming GOP Gov. Susana Martinez’s transition team.

Reached by phone on Friday, Wilson said she has no further comment at this time.

The announcement will come nearly three weeks after Sen. Jeff Bingaman (D) announced he would not seek a sixth term next year. His exit gives New Mexico just its third open Senate seat since 1948.

Politico first reported that Wilson will announce her bid on Monday.

At this time, Heather Wilson seems to be the strongest Republican in the mix. This may be proven wrong in the future. Her voting record is acceptable, though nothing spectacular.

I think her husband and children would find your remark interesting. UN”like Big Sis”, Heather is a wife and mother.

Ok, I’m wrong. It’s just that picture doesn’t bode well for someone who wants to appear normal.

Here we go again with the "consider the state" argument which I am for. Once people find out about her she'll be labeled a RINO just like Christie in NJ. For some here it's Palin clone or nothing. So many here want Sharron Angle over someone who could have beaten Harry Reid even if she lost.

If you want to argue Mike Castle I could be with you though.
