One of just two Albuquerque Republicans left in the New Mexico Legislature says he will not seek reelection next year. The decision by state Sen. Mark Moores brings the list of incumbent senators headed for the door to at least three. Moores told the Albuquerque Journal in an interview Wednesday that family considerations led to his decision to forego a reelection campaign. He and his wife recently had a child. Moores has served three terms in the Senate. He sponsored or jointly sponsored bills allowing college athletes to get paid for endorsements, prohibiting coyote-killing contests and creating a redistricting commission that proposed political boundary lines.
