From the Albuquerque Tribune:

U.S. Rep. Tom Udall has made it official: He is running for the U.S. Senate.

The Santa Fe Democrat had hinted he would make the move, and on Friday he filed a statement of candidacy, a staff member said.

A campaign kickoff is planned in New Mexico after Thanksgiving, his office said. Udall is campaigning this weekend in Iowa on behalf of Gov. Bill Richardson's race for the Democratic presidential nomination.
