'Dirty Girl' backs out of CD-01 race

Alisa Valdes-Rodriguez, the outspoken local author of Dirty Girls Social Club, has decided to abandon pursuit of the congressional seat left open by Heather Wilson.

In leaving, Valdes-Rodriguez throws her support to my personal fave Martin Heinrich:

"I want to publicly put my support behind Martin Heinrich in the race. He would do an outstanding job, and he'd look good doing it."

I hereby announce my withdrawal from the race for NM CD-01.

That makes us equal.
