From capitolreportnewmexico.com -The New Mexico Senate race could have looked drastically different had Bingaman waited a day, even a few more hours, to announce his retirement. Wilson, who began taking a hard look at the race in early January, was at an event at Sandia National Laboratories on Feb. 18 when the news broke of Bingaman’s retirement. Three hours later, Sandia offered Wilson the position of vice president for defense and intelligence. Wilson took the weekend to decide, but the open-seat opportunity was too tempting for her to turn down. She said timing is everything: “Had they offered the job four hours earlier, I would’ve taken it.” More News New Mexico
