More Endorsements

The newspaper endoresments continue. As usual the Journal said no to my candidacy, but the Santa Fe New Mexican said yes. That was good news for me because I really wanted the New Mexican's endorsement. Here is what they had to say.

(Former Commissioner) "Jim Baca, our primary choice, went on to serve in the federal version of the job: directorship of the Bureau of Land Management.

There, his honesty, courage and resistance to pressures from his Clinton-appointed superiors got him run out of Washington. America’s loss, Albuquerque’s gain; he served as mayor of Duke City.

At a time when the Bush administration is bent on wrecking the West, New Mexico needs a toughminded champion of conservation; Baca meets that description."

There are a lot more endorsements to come. The large and popular weeklies will chime in at the middle of the week.
