Patricia A. Madrid (born 1947) is an American politician and the former Attorney General for the U.S. state of New Mexico.
[2] Madrid won her first campaign in 1978 when she became the first woman elected to sit as a district court judge in New Mexico.
In 2005, Madrid became the chairperson of the Conference of Western Attorneys General, which focuses on energy, environmental, and Indian gaming issues.
But Domenici's poll numbers dropped as a result of the scandal, and Madrid may have considered running against him.
When Democratic Representative Tom Udall entered the race, Madrid opted against running for the U.S. Senate.
