STEVE PEARCE TO RUN AGAINST HARRY TEAGUE


In a press release issued by the Republican Party of New Mexico, former U.S. Congressman, Steve Pearce announced his candidacy for U.S. House of Representatives Congressional District 1 against Harry Teague, a seat he previously held. This election will be in 2010.

Pearce said: "For the past half year, I have stood by and hoped for the best for our state and country. I had hoped Harry Teague would look out for the hard working people of New Mexico."

"Sadly while I hoped for the best, Harry Teague embraced a reckless set of policies that directly jeopardize our economy and threatens future generations" Pearce continued.

In the release Pearce further states: "He [Harry Teague] went to Washington and quickly voted for massive amounts of wasteful spending, loading up on pork barrel projects and radically increasing the size of government."

"Now Harry Teague chose to vote for the job-killing cap and trade bill. If this bill becomes law, it will devastate jobs in New Mexico and further cripple the American economy."

"I can not let this happen to the people of New Mexico . So today, I am signing paperwork to run for the Second Congressional District. This district needs a Congressman who will fight for jobs for New Mexico families. Harry Teague won’t. I will."

It looks like we are in for another long "political campaign." Don't forget about the Governor's race, also in 2010.
