Outgoing Democrat A.G. Patricia Madrid ran one of the toughest, most spirited races for the U.S. House against incumbent Republican Republican Representative Heather Wilson – and she came up 879 votes short.  Over $11 million was spent trying to reach 211,000 voters for this one seat in New Mexico’s First Congressional District. 

Republican Heather Wilson looks safe for a fifth term in Congress. Yet her Democratic challenger refused to concede.

Wilson retained her seat from New Mexico's 1st Congressional District late Friday, narrowly winning a fifth term over Democrat Patricia Madrid and overcoming election-season sentiment that battered GOP incumbents nationwide.
