New Mexico Secretary of State charged with embezzlement, fraud, etc.

Not surprising.

State Sen. Mary Fajardo is considered a possible replacement.

"As New Mexico Political Report previously reported, if Duran resigns or is impeached by the state Legislature, Martinez will have to appoint someone to fill the role. That role could go to Mary Quintana, who currently serves as Duran’s deputy secretary of state.

Some Republicans rumored

Other Republican names for possible replacements are being kicked around by politicos, though they admit it is all speculation at this point. They are state Rep. Kelly Fajardo of Belen, Los Alamos County Clerk Sharon Stover, Valencia County Clerk Peggy Carabajal and former Albuquerque City Clerk Amy Bailey."

This may seen like an odd question, but is every New Mexico Republican a woman?

I don't know. Every one on the list is a woman, and the comments in the article mentioned it to.

I hope she doesn't appoint Fajardo - she's a fairly moderate minority unrelated to the Martinez administration and could win in the 2018 general.
