Former Congressman Steve Pearce filed papers today against Harry Teague in the New Mexico 2nd District
Pearce who was left the seat in 2008 to run for the U.S. Senate is seeking his old seat back. Pearce, a favorite of the rancher set held the seat from 2003-2009. His greatest claim to fame is plagarizing articles from the Heritage Foundation and other right-wing think tanks and passing them off under his own name in several small local newspapers in New Mexico. He's a former Assistant Majority Whip in the U. S House.
Harry Teague (D-inc.) took the seat in the New Mexico blue sweep of last Novemeber. No doubt this will be a wild & woolly one with money pouring into the district from all ends.
Go Harry!
