This definitely changes the equation for incumbent and former Republican senator Doris Flores Brooks. For a while it seemed that she was once again going to cruise to another victory without any opponent standing in her way.
Due to Governor Gutierrez's proven ability to garner thousands of votes, and the fact that he needs only 4% of the vote to advance out of the primary, we here at 671 Politics change our ratings for the Public Auditor race from SOLID BROOKS to TOSSUP.
