From SantaFeNewMexican.com:
Embattled Secretary of State Mary Herrera wanted one of her exempt employees to “get involved” with the Republican Party to try to discourage the GOP from fielding a candidate for secretary of state this year.
That’s according to former SOS public information officer James Flores, who was fired by Herrera last month.
The alleged plan, of course, didn’t work. The Republicans nominated state Sen. Dianna Duran, a former Otero County clerk, to run for the office.
In a Jan. 21, 2010 e-mail from Herrera to Flores — a copy of which I obtained last week — Herrera wrote, “I asked you a long time ago to get involved in the R party, you didn’t and now they are looking for someone to run against me.”
