(25,851 posts)for the NM Governor in 2018. Tom Udall publicly decided not to seek that office. Grisham would be giving up her seat in Congress, and I don't know NM District 1 well enough to know if another Democrat would successfully win that seat. But she would probably make a good Governor.
I know the current Mayor of Santa Fe, Javier Gonzales is considering it. While I think he's a pretty decent Mayor, he's been somewhat divisive, and not sure if, were he to win the election, he'd be a good and effective Governor.
And Tom Udall, nice man as he is, is too old to run for President. Again, I'm his age, and even though he looks a good ten years younger than he is, I still don't want to see another old person in that office.
We don't need yet another Boomer in the Oval Office. It is beyond time for the younger generation to take over.
