Claire Chase is running as a Republican for New Mexicos 2nd Congressional District seat in 2020, and she stopped by the Daily Caller to sit down with senior White House correspondent Christian Datoc.
Chase, the 36-year-old former chairman of the New Mexico Oil and Gas Association and a mother of two, is running against Democratic Congresswoman Xochitl Torres Small who turned the primarily Republican district blue in 2018. Chase talked to Datoc about her support for President Donald Trumps US-Mexico-Canada trade agreement, the border wall, the Second Amendment, and her opposition to the Green New Deal.

So, which district is the super spy in? Santa Fe area right?
I believe he said VOTE twice. :-)
Plame? Yeah, but she’s got her own problems even with the libs up there.
LOL! I love it when they collide with reality.
Some anti-semitic stuff on facebook (or something) came back to bite her.
Plus, even the transplants up there see her as an ultra carpetbagger.
Nice...and smart...NM FReepers let's get her in!!
Yep - when God combines good looks, intelligence and moral fortitude in a woman, you can be sure He made a Conservative woman...

Slim's talking about Valerie Plame, candidate in NM-3, northern NM. Claire Chase is in NM-2, southern NM. NM-1 is ABQ area.
Another good interview with more background info about Claire.

Chase is her married name - she married into the family of Mack Chase, an oil producer and pecan farmer. I spent a lot of time working in Artesia area and Mack is known for his generosity and philanthropy. His year end bonus to employees were SUV’s and any graduating senior from Artesia High School who had the grades to go to college received a full scholarship to New Mexico universities or those in Lubbock or El Paso.
:-) Yeah, I prompted his comment by asking about the super spy in Santa Fe. Figured he’d know who I was talking about.
Just to be clear, there are two others running in the NM-3 Republican primary in June. The information on them and all NM US House candidates can be found at the link below:

Thanks.
I know you did, but I thought I should make clear for others it was Plame and not Chase who was the subject of the thread.
...running against Democratic Congresswoman Xochitl Torres Small ..
That name has an Aztec ring to it.
><
That’s right.
It has a AZTLAN, La Raza. RECONQUISTA loud boom to it.
Torres Small was an aide to retiring Senator Tom Udall, a radical environmentalist and left-wing “progressive” Dem.
What’s the district like, enrollment and past representatives. Does she have a chance?
That’s right. I’d bet Xochitl Torres Small is a big supporter and confidant of AOC and that crowd. They’re all birds of a feather only with little differences in the color of the feathers.
Oh, and I hope Claire speaks Spanish or takes a quick course to be able to converse. She doesn’t need to tout it like Beto O’Rouke in Texas, but could use it in polite conversation or a response.
I believe Steve Pearce (who was the former Pub holder in NM-2 and who she worked for in DC) was fluent enough to be able to respond to questions. He had Hispanic support because during one of the 80’s downturn in the O&G industry, he kept his employees on the service company payroll, including a lot of Spanish speaking ones, and they were some of his most fervent supporters when he ran for Congress.
