Journal endorses Lujan Grisham in Democratic governor primary

Michelle Lujan Grisham’s broad résumé and boundless energy give her an edge in the Democratic primary for governor.

She’s served as a Cabinet secretary for 16 years under three governors – two Democrats and a Republican – and is finishing up her third term as a congresswoman. In Congress, Lujan Grisham has cultivated a good track record of constituent services and of representing her district, and she has shown the ability to take moderate positions.

Lujan Grisham knows the ins and outs of state government, having served as health secretary under Gov. Bill Richardson, and overseeing the state Agency on Aging under Govs. Bruce King, Gary Johnson and Richardson. And thanks to the six years she’s served in Congress, she also has intimate knowledge of the federal government’s inner workings.

She also served as a Bernalillo County commissioner, further bolstering her public-service résumé.
