Heath Haussamen - A longtime Democratic activist has formally announced her campaign to unseat U.S. Rep.
Steve Pearce, R-N.M., next year.
Evelyn Madrid Erhard made the announcement Wednesday in Las Cruces. From a news release: “Public service was a family tradition for Madrid Erhard while growing up in Española. One of her ancestors was entrusted with a land grant. Another was an officer in the Civil War. Her maternal grandfather served as a U.S. Forest Ranger. Madrid Erhard’s father fought in World War II, earned a bachelors and masters degree on the G.I. Bill, and became a teacher and coach at Pojoaque High School. Her mother was a secretary at Los Alamos National Laboratories. “When Madrid Erhard considers the critical jump-start that her parents received after the war, she sees a real need for Congress to refocus on the needs of the 99%. Creating jobs, strengthening public education, and making health care affordable are only some of the ways that she would work to extend the opportunity of a jump-start to working Americans and their families.” Madrid Earhard is joined by
Frank McKinnon of Roswell in a Democratic primary that thus far lacks a high-profile candidate. Former state Rep.
Jeff Steinborn of Las Cruces says he’s considering running. Pearce has drawn no primary opponent.
