This actually stuns me.  She was the first Republican Secretary of State in New Mexico in something like 40 years.

And hence the only reason that Invisible Obama would ever post this story.

So we talk about what's happening in Bum, Nowhere all the time but for some reason posting major NM news is off limits and only for partisans? Duran was almost 100% going to be the pub nominee in 2018.

So who does this go to for the pubs in 2018, assuming she's guilty? There is another Pub statewide officer, after all (Public Comissionier Aubrey Dunn Jr., who beat an incumbent).

Jon Barela came very close to winning a congressional race in 2010, and has been Martinez' Economic Development Secretary since then (appointed post, not elected, but still). If Martinez is strong on economic issues, Barela seems like a very logical choice.
