Political primary focus shifts to June NM races
After the 2012 Legislature adjourned, New Mexico lawmakers face June primaries for all 112 House seats and several Public Regulation Commission posts along with U.S. presidential ballots. The GOP map fight, court rulings, and signature thresholds shape late campaign dynamics statewide. The U.S. Senate race features Heather Wilson as a front runner with Sowards challenging, while Clinton endorsement powers Marty Sanchez in the 1st District and Griegos grouping in fundraising. Lujan faces Montoya in the 3rd District as campaigns mobilize nationwide and state contests converge.

Mammogram guidance and considerations for patients
On the day of a mammogram avoid deodorants or lotions under arms. You will remove clothing above the waist and wear a gown. Breasts are imaged separately with breath holds, sometimes compressed, which may feel cold and uncomfortable but not painful. Implants may affect technique. Most abnormalities are not cancer, about 90 percent false positives.
