THERE IS NOW A REPUBLICAN IN THE RACE TO REPLACE DEMOCRAT CONGRESSMAN BEN RAY LUJAN WHO IS RUNNING FOR THE SENATE. BRETT KOKINADIS SAYS HE’S RUNNING FOR CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT THREE, A DISTRICT THAT COVERS MUCH OF NORTHERN NEW MEXICO.
KOKINADIS WAS THE FOUNDER OF “NEW MEXICO DEMOCRATS FOR DEMOCRACY ” BUT HAS CHANGED HIS PARTY AFFILIATION TO REPUBLICAN.
NO OTHER REPUBLICANS HAVE ANNOUNCED THEY’RE GOING TO SEEK THE SEAT. ON THE DEMOCRATIC SIDE, THERE ARE THREE CANDIDATES SO FAR.
