Capitol Report New Mexico - Back in 2008, Tom Udall and Steve Pearce faced off in a nasty battle for one of New Mexico’s two US Senate seats in which Udall assailed Pearce as a pro-industry zealot who would turn back environmental progress and Pearce went after Udall as a die-hard liberal out of touch with working New Mexicans.
