New poll doesn t tell us much about the city races: After an initial ask, here s the candidate who wins in each race with a 4.3% margin of error:

One of Richardson s early endorsers for governor in 2013 was Atiyeh, who knew about second chances. He was elected governor on his second try in 1978 (he lost four years earlier) and was re-elected in 1982.
