\u201cThe people first put their trust in Pete Domenici<\/a> 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,\u201d Albuquerque Journal<\/a> Publisher T.H. Lang wrote in Sunday\u2019s edition of the newspaper. \u201cTo 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

With that in mind, the Journal on Sunday published a special section dedicated to Domenici. Click here<\/a> to read Journal State Editor John Robertson\u2019s introduction to the section. Here are the other articles:<\/p>\n
