Former Rep. Daniel Patterson has made his choices in the upcoming primary and put him up on his blog. Some of the choices are odd given Patterson’s politics (Ron Gould?). Oddly, Three Sonorans is not bragging about Patterson’s endorsement of Wenona Benally-Baldenegro. The most notable one is his endorsement of conservative Democrat Ken Cheuvront over [...]
In case you are wondering what Daniel Patterson has been up to, he just ended his quest for a seat on the Silver City Planing and Zoning Commisson. Yeah, that’s in New Mexico. He claimed that he’d been a part time resident of Grant County for the last ten years, a fact that local authorities [...]
I have been having trouble with my computer off an on since Saturday, so I neglected to write anything about my friend Nick Fontana, who was just picked to replace Daniel Patterson. I’ve known Nick as long as I’ve been alive, I think. He was an intern for Mo Udall way back, and ended up [...]

Daniel Patterson just had his press conference up in Phoenix, accompanied by Republican Representatives Cecil Ash and John Filmore. Oh yeah, and Jaret Maupin of all people. Because if you want to make sure that a discussion remains above board and honest, you call Maupin. Maupin alleged that Patterson wasn’t getting his due because he’s [...]
I’ve been told that the Ethics Committee is expected to meet at 9 AM, with the full House meeting at 10 AM and a possible vote on expulsion at that time. I’ve given some of my legislative Democrat friends a little stick for trying to push this process. I think holding a snap vote after [...]
…today in Daniel Patterson news. Talk is that Chad Campbell will once again try to get Patterson expelled, possibly by having Terri Proud or Jack Harper introduce the motion. I understand Campbell’s frustration here, but I fail to see what these continued motions are going to do. The Republicans have already agreed to expedite the [...]
