Is It 2010 Yet?

It's that time of year. ...

Earlier this week former Democratic State Chariman Brian Colon had a kick-off even in Albuquerque for his lieutenant governor bid. Republican state Rep. Janice Arnold-Jones announced her gubermatorial bid last weekend, while former state Rep. Brian Moore announced his candidacy for lieutenant governor yesterday.

Here's what's coming up:


Sen. Linda Lopez, D-Albuquerque, who has been campaigning for lieutenant governor for several months, will officially make it official on Saturday at a "Kickoff Celebration" in Albuquerque, followed by a Railrunner Ride to Santa Fe, where she'll have another "Kickoff Celebration.

The first event is at Washington Middle School park at 9:30 a.m. The Santa Fe celebration is at 1:30 p.m. in front of The Market Place.
