Geno Zamora, former attorney general candidate and former chief legal counsel to Gov. Bill Richardson, announced today that he will not seek to replace U.S. Rep. Tom Udall, who is vacating his House seat to run for Senate.
“I am proud to have Tom Udall as a mentor in both politics and the practice of law. It is my hope that Northern New Mexico’s next representative is as strong and progressive as Tom has been, and it would be an honor to succeed him,”
Democrats Don Wiviott and Santa Fe County Commissioner Harry Montoya have both entered the Third Congressional District race, and a number of others are seriously considering it.
A prior version of this posting did not state that Montoya had entered the race.
