Brunner says he isn’t running for Congress

Terry Brunner, state director for the office of U.S. Sen. Jeff Bingaman, D-N.M., has decided he won’t run for Congress next year.

Brunner had been considering running against U.S. Rep. Heather Wilson, R-N.M., but said he is happy with the other candidates considering the race. The only Democrat to officially be in the running is Albuquerque City Councilor Martin Heinrich.

“I see some great people stepping up and getting in to the race, and I think the important thing is that we have a great candidate,” Brunner told me.
