When it ends Saturday in Grants, she will have covered 19 of the state\u2019s 33 counties and traveled 1,500 miles, according to a news release from her campaign. She\u2019ll be talking with voters about national security, the war on terror, taxes, health care and the economy.<\/p>\n

<\/o:p><\/p>\n

\u201cI’m really excited to visit with New Mexicans in all corners of the state,\u201d Wilson<\/st1:place><\/st1:city> said in the release. \u201cMy first responsibility as a candidate for the U.S. Senate is to listen to you, to find out your concerns, your priorities, and what is important to you. I look forward to meeting new people though out the state and hearing what’s on their mind.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/o:p><\/p>\n

<\/o:p><\/p>\n

Wilson<\/st1:city>\u2019s campaign recently received a boost when the New Mexico Professional Firefighter\u2019s Association\u2019s<\/a> members voted unanimously to endorse her over Pearce in the primary.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cWe have a long-standing relationship with Congresswoman Heather Wilson,\u201d Emily Kane, the association\u2019s president, said in a release sent by Wilson<\/st1:place><\/st1:city>\u2019s campaign. \u201cHeather has always supported firefighters and public safety issues. The NMPFFA encourages our members and their families to vote for Rep. Wilson in the primary and to volunteer and support her campaign.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI\u2019m honored by this endorsement from New Mexico<\/st1:state> firefighters and I look forward to working with you during this campaign and in the United States Senate,\u201d Wilson<\/st1:place><\/st1:city> said in the news release.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
