Environmental Groups Target U.S. Senate Race in N.M.


Associated Press
      A coalition of environmental groups is targeting the U.S. Senate race in New Mexico to help swing that seat into the Democratic column.
    The coalition plans to help Democrat Tom Udall in the race against the winner of the Republican primary, either Steve Pearce or Heather Wilson.
    The coalition says voters already are talking about what they pay at the pump while oil companies rake in record profits.
    Elise Annunziata of Clean Water says the issues of energy policy and gas prices cut across party lines.
    She says voters can draw their own conclusions from the candidates' records.
    The coalition will combine ads and door-to-door conversations to help Udall.
