Senator Pete V. Domenici (R-NM) served in the U.S. Senate for over thirty-six years. He has a long legacy of contributions to New Mexico as well as the entire country. The New Mexico State University has started the long process of recognizing Pete Domenici and his legacy.
The Pete V. Domenici Public Policy Institute, located at New Mexico State University, held a conference on Domenici’s legacy in August 2008. Rio Grande Books of Los Ranchos, NM, in collaboration with New Mexico State University, is publishing the proceedings from this first conference honoring Senator Domenici’s legacy. Speakers focused on Senator Domenici’s legacy in several areas including:
