The Republican incumbent, Heather Wilson has taken more money from Exxon/Mobils PAC than any other New Mexico politician $5,000 already in this cycle, and $27,000 since 2000. She took $4,000 from Halliburtons PAC in the 2004 cycle. She is the EPITOME of what I call a corrupt Halliburton Republican.
The Congressional race in the 1st district is the hottest race in New Mexico in the 2006 cycle. The Democratic opponant is two-term state Attorney General Patricia Madrid. An extraordinarily well-qualified candidate, Madrid seems poised to be a leading Democrat from the West.
Wilson is a canny and experienced campaigner and will not be easy to beat. This years favorable electoral climate provides a unique opportunity to take Wilson out with the most formidable candidate she has ever faced.
This is one of the naiton’s top races in 2006.
