New Mexico races unsettled as two congressional seats appear safe
In New Mexico, Congressional Districts 2 and 3 show incumbents Steve Pearce and Ben Ray Lujan as safe bets while Democrats mull redistricting moves. The open 1st District race draws names like Eric Griego, Martin Chavez, Diane Denish, Moe Maestas, Lujan Grisham, and Jason Marks, with Dan Lewis as the lone firmly declared Republican. Nearby, Governor Susana Martinez criticizes the expansion of two year colleges, citing budget strains and duplicated services. A Denver auction of Billy the Kid tintype, once owned by Dan Dedrick, could fetch over $1 million as collectors converge for The Holy Grail of Western history.
