ALBUQUERQUE — The new chairman of the state Democratic Party plans to heal divisions within the party stemming from last year’s presidential election.

Richard Ellenberg of Santa Fe was selected to serve as state party chairman Saturday over outgoing Vice Chairman Juan Sanchez III, a 25-year-old from Belen. Members of the party’s central committee made the decision in a 200-120 vote.

Ellenberg, 69, is a retired lawyer and was previously the chairman of the Santa Fe County Democratic Party.

2. Yes, & that was even w Gary Johnson, having been a 2 time, previous Governor, ¤tly having a 2x

Repub Gov. However, current Governor Martinez isn't well liked, even though she refused to attend DTs rally in NM, which would have been a certain kiss of death... about the only smart thing she ever did. She is a creationist, and wants it taught in schools. She has destroyed public education. Hardly worth mentioning, she's an embarrassing pubic drunk.
I think Ellenburg will do a good job, but NM is Hillary territory!
