Denish makes trip to Las Cruces today

Lt. Gov. Diane Denish is in Las Cruces today for some official business and an event for her 2010 gubernatorial campaign.

Denish began the day at 8 a.m. at a “Danish with Diane” event at Roberto’s restaurant hosted by the Democratic Party of Doña Ana County and, according to the invitation, “local labor unions.” I asked Denish’s campaign spokesman Steve Fitzer if that meant the unions were endorsing Denish’s 2010 gubernatorial campaign more than three years before the election.

“It’s not an endorsement, but they were happy to help us,” he said, adding that the election is so far away that the campaign wouldn’t seek labor endorsements this early.

Denish is also scheduled to attend the official launch of the V-me Spanish-language television network at KRWG-TV’s studio in Las Cruces at 11 a.m. V-me is a public, Spanish-language network that has been around for years but is coming to Southern New Mexico for the first time.

Denish also met today with a farming group and toured a pecan orchard.
