State Rep. Janice Arnold-Jones<\/a> plans to formally enter the 2010 Republican gubernatorial primary on Sunday.<\/p>\n

She will hold her rally at the Sheraton Albuquerque Uptown Hotel<\/a> in Albuquerque on Sunday from 4-6 p.m., according to an announcement on her Facebook page<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The event was expected. In July<\/a>, Arnold-Jones said she was running for governor but had to postpone a formal announcement until she recovered from a necessary surgery to repair torn muscles in her leg.<\/p>\n

The Republican\u2019s campaign Web site<\/a> states that she plans to focus her campaign on ethics, education, infrastructure and service.<\/p>\n

\u201cA central theme of my candidacy will be \u2018connectivity,\u2019\u201d her Web site states. \u201cBy focusing on the power of connectivity in — telephone, cable, fiber, wireless, satellite and internet communication, energy and energy transmission, roads, and individual participation — we can overcome our geography, honor our environment, enhance the education of our children and improve our economic well being.\u201d<\/p>\n

There are several other Republicans running or considering running for governor. Do\u00f1a Ana County District Attorney Susana Martinez<\/a> has already declared her candidacy. Public relations professional Doug Turner<\/a> appears to be about to formally jump into the race, and Former state GOP Chairman Allen Weh<\/a> has formed an exploratory committee. Former U.S. Rep. Heather Wilson<\/a> says she\u2019s thinking about running.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
