Gov. Gets Involved In Races.(Journal North)

Richardson Denies Making Endorsements in Primary
Gov. Bill Richardson is going to bat for a handful of fellow Democrats in contested primary races this year, but other candidates are questioning the appropriateness of his actions.
Richardson has provided a statement -- a three-sentence quote -- in support of Ben R. Lujan of Santa Fe, a former worker in Richardson's congressional office and the son of House Speaker Ben Lujan. The younger Lujan is running for a seat on the Public Regulation Commission.
The statement, displayed on at least one of Lujan's voter hand-outs, says in part: "Ben R. Lujan will be an outstanding member of the PRC." Richardson's signature and title are displayed under the quote.
It's not an endorsement, said the governor's spokesman, Billy Sparks, even though the governor does plan to vote for Lujan.
"The governor thinks very highly of Ben Ray," said Sparks.
