Ex-U.S. Rep. Heather Wilson, an Albuquerque Republican, has now joined the social networking revolution on Facebook.
On her Facebook page, Wilson writes about herself, but in the third-person:
For ten years, Congresswoman Heather Wilson helped shape national policy serving in the U.S. Congress. An Air Force Academy graduate and Rhodes Scholar, Wilson lives in Albuquerque with her husband, Jay Hone, and their children, Joshua and Caitlin.
Wilson served five-terms in the U.S. House of Representatives before deciding to give up her seat and run for the open U.S. Senate seat vacated by Pete Domenici. Wilson lost in a close Republican primary against her fellow ex-U.S. Rep. Steve Pearce.
Pearce went on to lose handily to Democrat Tom Udall in the general election.
In addition to her personal page, she also has a politician page, though that still lists Wilson as the officeholder of the 1st Congressional District. But that position is currently held by Democrat Martin Heinrich.
Update: Wilson writes in, on Facebook of course, saying that the politician page is not official and was set up by a supporter. Wilson says she did put a post on the wall at the politician page telling supporters where to find her on Facebook.
