Wilson Passed on VP Job at Sandia Labs for Senate Run

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.

She said timing is everything: “Had they offered the job four hours earlier, I would’ve taken it.” More News New Mexico
