Capitol Report New Mexico reported Saturday that Resendiz told delegates at the Democratic Party of New Mexico state convention of his intention to run.
“I feel the public’s been neglected,” Resendiz told the conservative website.
The Sun-News was unable to contact Resendiz, but there are indications that an announcement is in the works.
Resendiz, who recently attended a mayors conference in Chicago, did not return phone messages about the online report.

At the National Mayors Summit, Resendiz spoke with Richard M. Daley, the mayor of Chicago, “about border security, trade and economic development.”
The seat is currently held by Steve Pearce, a Republican.
