Domenici To Retire
Written by Sam on October 3rd, 2007
Republican Sen. Pete Domenici of New Mexico intends to retire at the end of his term next year, closing out a 36-year career in Congress, Republican officials said Wednesday.
These officials said the 75-year-old Domenici intends to make a formal announcement on Thursday in his home state. They spoke on condition of anonymity to avoid pre-empting the six-term lawmaker.
Strike another nail in the Senate GOP coffin. That’s another seat we could very well lose.

Heather Wilson has declared to run for NM. Hopefully whoever wins the R-NM primary will be an upgrade over Domenici.

I suspected Wilson would run for that seat.
