Eric Griego
State Sen. Eric Griego, D-Albuquerque, says he will seriously consider running for the 1st Congressional District seat in Congress next year – if the current U.S. representative, Democrat Martin Heinrich, opts to give up the seat to run for U.S. Senate.
“If he jumps, I’m definitely seriously considering it,” Griego told NMPolitics.net.
Griego said there’s no timeline for a decision – his is dependent on what Heinrich decides – and he won’t run if Heinrich opts to stay in the House.
Heinrich says he’s actively considering running for the Senate seat begin vacated by Democrat Jeff Bingaman.
