Udall says he will not seek reelection in 2020
The Hill ^ | March 25, 2019 | Max Greenwood

Sen. Tom Udall (D-N.M.) announced on Monday that he will not seek reelection in 2020, leaving the Senate seat he has held since 2009 up for grabs.

“I’m confident that we could run a strong campaign next year to earn a third term, because of all the work you and I have done together, along with my wife, Jill, and my incredibly dedicated staff," Udall said in a statement.

“But the worst thing anyone in public office can do is believe the office belongs to them, rather than to the people they represent. That’s why I’m announcing today that I won’t be seeking re-election next year.”

Susana Martinez was judged by the Cato Institute as the most fiscally responsible governor for 2016-2018 of all 50 states. Unfortunately NM is a high-crime third-world thankless backwater of gibmedats. She was NM’s Trump in a way and was rewarded with roadblocks at practically every turn.

And not sure what ‘personal life’ problems you allude to. She is now employed as an education reform consultant in Florida.

NM voted in a bunch of rabid barking moonbats the last election. My guess is that Udall can’t deal with their sharp left turn.

NM is also going gun-grabber, which doesn’t represent the will of the population.

Can’t disagree that she was beat on by the legislature, and it took its toll. Caring for her siblings was difficult too.

I like my corner of the state, but we’ve got our share of promlems.

He quietly took his monthly paycheck and did nothing for the good of mankind. IMHO

She’s had to care for her older sister for many years, who has cerebal palsy and is retarded. Her brother passed from ALS not too long ago.

ANY time a DIM leaves any position of authority or power it is great for civil society.

Well we won’t have Suzana to beat up anymore and blame everything on because Michele Lujan-Grisholm is going to make NM Venezuela again. File under “careful what you wish for”.

Not beating up on Susana, but it’s safe to say her political days here are done. MLG is a truly nasty piece of work, and I’m not looking forward to whatever she comes up with next.

Gary Johnson as a Republican as he was before? If he were to win he could be another Mittens but who cares?

Gary Johnson morphed into a braindead weirdo. Good governor but his brain is plugged up with pipe resin.

I have a question. Since so much land there is reservation land can NM take guns away from tribal lands?

Gary placed 3rd in his senate try in 2018, and even if his votes were added to the Republican candidate, it was still 10% short of that beady eyed carpetbagger Heinrich who doesn’t even live in the state until campaign time.

You're kidding right? She wouldn't come back here if they rolled out a red carpet, and I don't blame her one bit. A windswept slightly more sanitary version of Chihuahua state.

He always had a bit of that going on (my wife knew him back in the 80's from the triathalon thing), but Dee kept him on track. He only really went off the deep end after he threw her over for some Santa Fe hardbody cougar.

Lew Wallace had this place pegged, but there's still a percentage of sensible folks.

Gary Johnson = John Kasick without the charm and the tapeworm.

Kashich is a mean SOB with issues. Gary’s just scrambled and all over the place.
