Wife, a Democrat, opposes GOP hubby
Santa Fe, New Mexico (UP) –
New Mexico’s gubernatorial election in November may be one of the fanciest political scraps in the state’s history.
Mrs. Edna Peterson of Albuquerque filed yesterday as a Democratic candidate for the nomination – the first woman in the state to seek the post.
Robert E. Peterson, her husband, has announced he, too, will seek nomination – on the Republican ticket.
