“The people first put their trust in Pete Domenici when they elected him to the Albuquerque City Commission. New Mexicans liked what they saw, so they sent the hardworking son of Italian immigrants to represent New Mexico in the United States Senate,” Albuquerque Journal Publisher T.H. Lang wrote in Sunday’s edition of the newspaper. “To say that he repaid that trust would be a huge understatement. Few have done as much for their state and their country. He worked tirelessly during his six terms in the Senate on behalf of his beloved New Mexico, and built a national legacy on issues ranging from the budget to energy independence.”
