WE’RE HEARING CONGRESSMAN BEN RAY LUJAN COULD BE KEEPING HIS EYE ON THE SENATE RACE. A SLOT JUST OPENED FOR LUJAN AND OTHERS TO RUN FOR THE SENATE SEAT THAT’LL BE VACATED BY DEMOCRAT TOM UDALL IN 2020. LUJAN’S BEEN A FAST MOVER IN THE POLITICAL GAME … FIRST BEING A STATE PUBLIC REGULATION COMMISSIONER … THEN ASSISTANT SPEAKER OF THE U-S HOUSE … AND THOSE TWO POSITIONS IN JUST ABOUT A DECADE.
LUJAN TELLS THE SANTA FE NEW MEXICAN HE’S SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING A RUN FOR UDALL’S SENATE SEAT … BUT IT’S EXPECTED TO A CROWDED FIELD FOR DEMOCRATS. THAT MEANS REPUBLICANS COULD RUN FOR UDALL’S SEAT INSTEAD OF TRYING TO UNSEAT HIM.
