Come on! He’s won twice statewide. Everyone knows who he is. As for following NM politics the answer is no. I was a fan of Heather Wilson who was able to hold a blue seat for 10 years. The conservatives nominated the bald guy for senate. Mistake. Now she’s a deep state Air Force Secretary. She was the best we could do but got no support. Johnson had more than one senate opportunity. Shouda’ struck while the iron was hotter. Selfishness/narcissism.
He’s certainly no Pete Domenici
of the Senate world. Mr. Johnson
won twice because of his soft,
left leaning politics in a blue
state. When he was governor during
his second term, New Mexico was left
devastated by the loss of a few big
enterprises that left the state, due
to high taxes, lack of incentives, and
harsh regulations. Though, he did use
the veto pen quite often.
