The first Republican to file to run to replace Ander Crenshaw is not high-profile: former write-in candidate Deborah Pueschel is again in the CD 4 GOP Primary.
She has run for this seat many times before.
In 2000, Pueschel ran as an Independent in the general election, and got 1.8 percent of the vote.
In 2010, she got 40 votes, finishing third ahead of current NPA perennial candidate Gary Koniz, in the general election.
2012 saw Pueschel finish third in the GOP Primary. And 2014 saw another resounding defeat as a write-in candidate.
Before her political career, Pueschel was an air traffic controller. That gig ended acrimoniously, with Pueschel filing unsuccessful suits against the Federal Aviation Administration and then-Transportation Secretary Norman Mineta, alleging a hostile workplace, sexual harassment, and retaliation for filing complaints.
Look for more viable candidates to file after the weekend.
