Papen in the running for Senate's top job
 |
| Mary Kay Papen |
Add another Democrat to a growing
list of those running for Senate president pro tem: Mary Kay Papen of Las Cruces
Papen, who was
just elected to a fourth term, joins at least four of her Democratic colleagues
in seeking the Senate’s top job. It’s open because Senate President Pro Tem Tim
Jennings, D-Roswell, lost his seat in the Nov. 6 election.
Papen said Tuesday
that she was asked by Democrats and Republicans to run for the position. It’s
voted on by all 42 Senate members.
A self-described moderate, Papen says she
could readily work with the GOP minority. She also says that she has known
Republican Gov. Susana Martinez — former district attorney in Doña Ana County —
for years, and that while they have their differences, the relationship has not
been adversarial.

Newly elected official apologizes for rude gesture

| Phillip Archuleta |
A newly elected state lawmaker in New
Mexico is facing heat after a newly posted YouTube video showed him giving an
opponent's campaign worker a vulgar gesture on Election Day.
State
Rep.-elect Phillip Archuleta apologized Monday following news about the online
video where he is recorded flipping his middle finger at the campaign worker.
In
the video, the 63-year-old Democrat, who won the District 36 House seat by
defeating the incumbent, Hatch resident Andy Nunez, also is heard threatening a
photographer while at a polling station.
Archuleta said he regretted his
actions and should have been more professional.
