... but that's not the point of this post.
There are two Democratic candidates for New Mexico's First Congressional District (NM-1) who seem to be plausible:
- Martin Heinrich, current Albuquerque City Council member;
- Michelle Lujan Grisham, currently Secretary of NM Dept of Health.
[Full disclosure: I've sent $ to both (but more to Heinrich).]
Okay, that's nice... but that's not the point of this post, either.
Okay, so what is the point?
From Grisham's campaign website, issues page:
Economic Security, Energy and the Environment:This is a simple, straight-forward framing of the issues that explicitly recognizes the inter-connectedness of the political choices involved. I recommend this framing to all Democratic candidates for Federal office!
Our economic security is inextricably intertwined with our energy policy and preservation of the environment.
(aside: I remembered this framing from my first visit to Grisham's website, almost a month ago - it's been on my mind ever since - this memorability suggests it may resonate with others!)
[note: I'll not publicly take a stand for one or the other, Grisham or Heinrich (not yet, at least) - either would be a far better choice than any Rebpublican!]
[final aside: when the Dem candidate for NM-1 has been determined, two things will happen:
1. I'll work actively on the campaign.
2. I'll devote more than just a little space on this blog to the campaign.
Till then I'll try not to take sides in the Democratic contest for NM-1... at least not publicly. Again - either of the two current plausible candidates would be far better than any Republican opponent!...
Full disclosure: I actively support Udall for the Senate seat vacated by Domenici!]
