Capitol Report New Mexico -  It may be a long shot, and he’ll have to gather signatures on ballot petitions, but Harry Montoya told Capitol Report New Mexico he’s going ahead with his primary challenge of fellow Democrat Ben Ray Luján. “A lot of people talk about it, they whisper about it, but they say it out loud that we have a lot of issues in terms of the corruption, the pay to play scandals, the back room business deals that line the pockets of the Democratic Party elite,” Montoya said this past Saturday (March 10) at the state Democratic Party pre-primary convention in Albuquerque. Luján has served for the last four years in the US House of Representatives in the Third Congressional District that makes up the northern part of New Mexico and is the son of outgoing Speaker of the House Ben Luján. Montoya, who describes himself as a pro-life Democrat, is a former two-term commissioner in Santa Fe County who says Rep.
