Wilson Still Not Ready to Jump in Gov Race.

HEATHER WILSON
Former Congresswoman Heather Wilson still hasn't decided whether she'll be running for governor, she just said in an interview on KUNM a few minutes ago.

Wilson probably would enter the race as a frontrunner on name recognition alone. She served 10 years in the House, representing the 1st Congressional District, which mainly consists of Albuquerque. She gave up that swing-district seat to run for U.S. Senate last year but lost to Steve Pearce in a hard-fought GOP primary where Pearce painted her as a "liberal."


Republican candidates so far include former GOP Chair Allen Weh, Las Cruces District Attorney Susana Martinez, State Rep. Janice Arnold-Jones and public-relations company owner Doug Turner.
