New Mexico attracts strong candidates for elected positions, just as it has for the 3rd Congressional District’s primary election.

If this were a State House seat, it would be difficult to decide. Being “liked” and loving New Mexico  would be enough. Not so for Congress. Valerie Plame is the only candidate qualified at this level.

Valerie has held her own on CNN, MSNBC, POTUS radio and even FOX News; she has articulated complex positions on a National stage. She has National plans, protective of regional interests, on healthcare, the economy, the environment, immigration, and women’s care.

It helps that this candidate epitomizes the discipline of a CIA Agent, fully prepared to live – or die – for her country. Valerie has the integrity to reject “dark money”, a tactic that feels more Trumpian than Democratic. And, no other candidate has her depth of national security experience. Not even close.

The only candidate ready for the national/international arena, with the passion to fight for New Mexico, and the integrity that this Congressional district has come to expect, is Valerie Plame.
