Joint Inauguration Set Saturday For 3 Officials

A joint inauguration is planned for three Democrats elected to statewide offices.

The inauguration ceremony for Attorney General Hector Balderas, Treasurer Tim Eichenberg and State Auditor Tim Keller will take place Saturday morning at Saint Francis Auditorium in Santa Fe.

Balderas has been the state auditor but he defeated Republican Susan Riedel to win the race for attorney general. He's succeeding Democrat Gary King, who ran unsuccessfully for governor.

Keller resigned his state Senate seat after defeating Republican Robert Aragon in the race to succeed Balderas as state auditor.

Eichenberg defeated Republican Rick Lopez to replace James Lewis as treasurer. Term limits barred Lewis from running again.
