Sanchez and Wilson at Tea Party Event

KOAT-TV - Nearly a year before the Republican primary for the 2012 U.S. Senate race, Lt. Gov. John Sanchez fought for the support of Tea Party members in Moriarty on Sunday. In front of around 100 Tea Party faithful on Sunday afternoon, Sanchez sounded like a man with a plan to run for the Senate. “If we do, we’re in it to win it clearly,” Sanchez said. Sanchez said nothing is for certain yet, but if he jumps into the 2012 Senate race, the difference between himself and other candidates will be easy to see. “We’re going to be talking about a proven track record on my end of supporting taxes and understanding conservative values out there,” Sanchez said. Announced candidate and former Rep. Heather Wilson was also at the Moriarty gathering Sunday. Wilson said she’d welcome the chance for a little back and forth if Sanchez jumps in the race.
