Udall Won’t Run for New Mexico Governor

Sen. Tom Udall (D-NM), who had considered running for governor of New Mexico in 2018, announced that he will forgo a gubernatorial campaign and remain in the U.S. Senate, the Albuquerque Journal reports.

Said Udall: “This is not the time to weaken our position in Washington. President-elect Trump has proposed policies with respect to health care, constitutional rights, immigration, privatizing public lands, and foreign policy that could be devastating to the citizens of New Mexico.”
