Republican presidential nominee John McCain will be in Albuquerque on Monday, while Michelle Obama, wife of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, will be in the Duke City on Tuesday.
I’ve already reported that President Bush will be in Albuquerque on Tuesday for a fundraiser for the state Republican Party and 1st Congressional District candidate Darren White. Now the Associated Press is reporting that McCain will participate in Memorial Day events at the New Mexico Veterans Museum in Albuquerque on Monday, but no other details have been released.
This will be McCain’s first visit to New Mexico as a 2008 presidential candidate.
Meanwhile, Michelle Obama will headline a Tuesday fundraiser for her husband’s campaign that will be co-hosted by Gov. Bill Richardson in Albuquerque. Click here for details and registration for the event.
The visits will keep New Mexico in the national news for a few days as the Land of Enchantment continues to take center stage in the 2008 election. Expect more visits from high-profile political figures as we approach November.
