Republican Greg Zanetti, who announced last month that he will run for Governor in 2010, was in Las Cruces today to begin laying groundwork for his Party's nomination. He was at County Republican Headquarters this afternoon and visited with residents and answer any questions regarding his candidacy and outlined his plans for New Mexico.
Later in the evening Mr. Zanetti attended a "greet and meet" dinner at the Double Eagle in Old Mesilla. The 'no host' dinner was attended by local community leaders and concerned GOP activists. Gen. Zanetti outlined his plans for the future of New Mexico and the need to incorporate High Tech and Low Tech together and utilize the wide resources available in New Mexico through the military, higher education (NMSU) gas and oil and agriculture. He said "it is vital to the economic future of the State to look at ways to combine the various resources to create a powerful economic structure."
Mr. Zanetti, is a Albuquerque financial adviser and a Brigadier General in the New Mexico National Guard.
So far, Lt. Gov. Diane Denish (D) is the only declared candidate for the Governors race in 2010. Former GOP State Chair, Allen Weh is seriously considering a run. Holdouts in making any formal announcements are Heather Wilson and Steve Pearce both former members of the U.S. House of Representatives.
