One of the most aggressive labor activists in the state, who observers say was able to successfully block bi-partisan efforts to reform education in New Mexico, has announced she will be running for the House of Representatives.
Christine Trujillo of Albuquerque told the Albuquerque Journal she will provide primary opposition to incumbent and fellow Democrat Danice Picraux in House District 25. Trujillo who is in her sixth term as president of the American Federation of Teachers in New Mexico, worked tirelessly behind the scenes for more than a year to stop the social promotion bill sponsored by Representative Mary Helen Garcia of Dona Ana County and supported by Governor Susana Martinez. The bill would have halted the widely discredited practice of moving school children on to 4th grade when they are unable to read at the third grade level.
