Former ABQ councilman running for 1st congressional district

Mike McEntee
Former Albuquerque City Councilman Mike McEntee says he will seek the Republican nomination for New Mexico's 1st Congressional District. 
McEntee is the first Republican to enter the race for the seat currently held by freshman Democrat Michelle Lujan-Grisham of Albuquerque.
 McEntee says he is running for the seat because he is "deeply concerned with the direction of our nation" and the partisan hostility that has gripped Washington. The former air traffic controller says he is "committed to presenting an alternative direction for our great state and nation." 
McEntee was on the Albuquerque City Council from 1997 to 2001.

SUPCO starts marriage equality hearings

Same-sex marriage will be at the forefront again in New Mexico as the state's supreme court takes on whether or not licenses should be legal statewide. 
Earlier in 2013, several county clerks came forward one by one deciding on their own whether or not to issue same-sex marriage licenses. A lot of clerks were ordered to do so because of lawsuits against them, claiming it was unconstitutional to deny same-sex couples the right to wed.
As of October 2013, Dona Ana, Taos, Santa Fe, San Miguel, Valencia and Bernalillo counties allowed licenses. 
Each of the counties had a firestorm of couples show up the first day they allowed licenses. Yet, many people still felt it was necessary for the supreme court to make a formal ruling for New Mexico as a whole. 
The supreme court agreed, and decided to have the first of several discussions today.
