Energy Net on 23 Dec 08After 35 years, New Mexico's senior senator - Pete Domenici - is retiring for health reasons. Domenici was a power broker in Washington who got results for Clovis and New Mexico. He was instrumental in stopping Defense Department plans to close Cannon Air Force Base in 2005 and in landing a new mission with Air Force Special Operations Command. Domenici sits on the powerful Defense Appropriations Commitee and is the ranking member for the Senate's Committee on Energy and Nautral Resource.
