New Mexico’s 1st Congressional District

Democrat Martin Heinrich continues to hold onto a slim lead in New Mexico’s 1st Congressional District, yet another poll is showing. Blogger Joe Monahan says in today’s “New Mexico Politics with Joe Monahan” that an automated poll conducted for him this week gives Heinrich 53 percent to Republican challenger Darren White’s 44 percent.

The latest volley in the battle between Republican Darren White and former Albuquerque City Councilor Martin Heinrich for New Mexico’s 1st Congressional District is a doozy, with White’s newest TV ad calling his opponent “disgraceful, dishonorable, extreme” based on Heinrich’s environmental work and associations. Heinrich’s campaign fired back that the ad is “more brazen lies” from White.
