THE NEXT NEW MEXICO GUBERNATORIAL ELECTION IS ALMOST TWO YEARS AWAY…BUT THERE’S ALREADY TALK ABOUT WHO MIGHT RUN. POLITICAL BLOGGER JOE MONAHAN SAYS THE NAMES BEING MENTIONED ON THE REPUBLICAN SIDE INCLUDE LT. GOVERNOR JOHN SANCHEZ, CONGRESSMAN STEVE PEARCE, AND ALBUQUERQUE MAYOR R-J BERRY.
MONAHAN SAYS IF THOSE NAMES GET INVOLVED, IT SHOULD MAKE FOR AN INTERESTING PRIMARY ON THE REPUBLICAN SIDE.
THE ELECTION ISN’T UNTIL 2018, BUT MONAHAN TELLS NEWSRADIO KKOB, GIVEN THE AMOUNT OF MONEY SPENT BY THE CANDIDATES, THE EARLIER THEY GET IN, THE EASIER IT IS TO MOUNT A SUCCESSFUL CAMPAIGN.
