In the immediate aftermath of New Mexico Republican Sen. Pete Domenici's announcement that he won't seek re-election next year, candidates to replace him are starting to line up.
Republican Rep. Heather Wilson of Albuquerque apparently is planning to run for Domenici's seat next year. Her district was a top take-over target for Democrats in 2006, and reports are that the district is even less hospitable to Republicans now. Her prospects in a statewide race are regarded as much better.
Wilson appears likely to be challenged by another Republican House member, Steve Pearce of the Second District. Pearce represents the southern and eastern parts of the state.
Therre is no word yet about which Democrat(s) might run for the seat.
