Rep. Stansbury Statement on Passing of Governor Bill Richardson

Albuquerque, NM —Rep. Melanie Stansbury released the following statement on the passing of former Governor Bill Richardson:

“Governor Bill Richardson has left an indelible mark on New Mexico politics and public service. Throughout his career as Governor, Member of Congress, UN Ambassador, Secretary of Energy, and in international diplomacy—he lived and loved big, mentored a generation of leaders, and served our great state and nation.

"Governor Richardson’s loss will be felt across the planet.  My prayers go out to his family and all who are remembering and grieving his loss and this giant in New Mexico politics.”
