Successful businessman, 2 term Republican Governor of New Mexico, vetoed 800 bills out of the Democrat controlled legislature, and left the state with a multi-hundred million dollar surplus that Richardson promptly squandered.

Not terribly conservative socially, favors some drug legalization, and is pro-choice.

Nice enough guy, my wife knew him back in her triathlon days.

He’s a fiscal conservative also. Left New Mexico well in the black, and refused to bloat government with “make work” type jobs. He’s well thought of here, in contrast to his successor. Is seen from time to time around town since he’s a cyclist/runner type.
