When Mr. Barker asked Wilson if she had removed the file, she denied it.<a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Heather_Wilson#cite_note-2" style="text-decoration: none; background-image: none; white-space: nowrap;">[3]</a>Wilson later admitted to removing the file, but denied reading it, and said she had been "suspicious for some time, based on rumors, that someone had attempted to steal information from the department regarding" her family.<a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Heather_Wilson#cite_note-3" style="text-decoration: none; background-image: none; white-space: nowrap;">[4]</a><h3 style="background-image: none; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); margin: 0px 0px 0.3em; overflow: hidden; padding-top: 0.5em; padding-bottom: 0.17em; border-bottom-style: none; width: auto; line-height: 19.1875px;">Congressional Career</h3>Wilson was elected to the House of Representatives in 1998 in a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/special_election" class="extiw" title="w:special election" style="text-decoration: none; background-image: none;">special election</a> to replace the late <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steven_Schiff" class="extiw" title="w:Steven Schiff" style="text-decoration: none; background-image: none;">Steven Schiff</a>. She was the first woman to represent New Mexico since <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgia_Lusk" class="extiw" title="w:Georgia Lusk" style="text-decoration: none; background-image: none;">Georgia Lusk</a> in the 1940s.In 2004, Wilson generated some controversy when she denounced CBS and Viacom following Janet Jackson's halftime performance at Super Bowl XXXVIII in which Jackson revealed her nipple. ("You knew what you were doing...creates a buzz.") Her specific words, "It was nasty", have become a well known soundbite.During Wilson's re-election campaign in 2004, her political opponent <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Romero" class="extiw" title="w:Richard Romero" style="text-decoration: none; background-image: none;">Richard Romero</a> ran advertisements which suggested her votes in Congress aided <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osama_bin_Laden" class="extiw" title="w:Osama bin Laden" style="text-decoration: none; background-image: none;">Osama bin Laden</a> because she had voted against a bill to require the screening of cargo holds. Wilson's campaign countered with an ad stating "Richard Romero opposes death penalty for child molesters who kill their victims". Wilson won the election by a 10% margin over Romero, the same margin of victory she had against Romero in the 2002 election.In her first national campaign, the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republican_National_Committee" class="extiw" title="w:Republican National Committee" style="text-decoration: none; background-image: none;">Republican National Committee</a> provided a great deal of Wilson's campaign funds because local Republicans were unsure about an untested candidate who had so recently moved to New Mexico from out-of-state. Wilson countered: "I'm a mail-order bride. I've now lived in New Mexico longer than I've lived anywhere else."<h4 style="background-image: none; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); margin: 0px 0px 0.3em; overflow: hidden; padding-top: 0.5em; padding-bottom: 0.17em; border-bottom-style: none; width: auto; line-height: 19.1875px;">2006 elections</h4>In 2006, the <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Democratic_Party" title="Democratic Party" class="mw-redirect" style="text-decoration: none; background-image: none;">Democrats</a> nominated <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Patricia_Madrid" title="Patricia Madrid" style="text-decoration: none; background-image: none;">Patricia Madrid</a> to face Wilson in her November 2006 bid for reelection.

Domenici cited health concerns at a press conference on October 4, 2007. “I am not willing to take a chance that the people who have so honored me with their trust for 40 years might not be served as well as they deserve in the United States Senate,” he said. Wilson had reportedly been taken under Domenici’s wing and her name had topped a list of potential heirs. As a strong campaigner she survived several multimillion-dollar challenges in the swing state including a win by under 1,000 votes in the 2006 election, however she also faced the U.S. Attorney scandal that may have affected a Domenici run. <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Heather_Wilson#cite_note-4" style="text-decoration: none; background-image: none; white-space: nowrap;">[5]</a><h2 style="background-image: none; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-weight: normal; margin: 0px 0px 0.6em; overflow: hidden; padding-top: 0.5em; padding-bottom: 0.17em; border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(170, 170, 170); width: auto; line-height: 19.1875px;">Money in politics</h2>This section contains links to – and feeds from – money in politics databases. <crpcontribdata>cid=N00006546&cycle=2006</crpcontribdata><table class="prettytable" style="margin: 1em 1em 1em 0px; background-color: rgb(249, 249, 249); border: 1px solid rgb(170, 170, 170); border-collapse: collapse; line-height: 19.1875px;"><tbody><tr><th colspan="3" style="border: 1px solid rgb(170, 170, 170); padding: 0.2em; background-color: rgb(242, 242, 242); text-align: center; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">Links to more campaign contribution information for Heather Wilson

5/17/12WASHINGTON – Today, the League of Conservation Voters (LCV) named New Mexico Senate candidate and former Rep. Heather Wilson to its 2012 “Dirty Dozen” list. Wilson was named to the list during two previous election cycles (2002 and 2006). LCV's trademark “Dirty Dozen” program targets candidates for Congress — regardless of party affiliation — who consistently vote against clean energy and conservation and are running in races in which LCV has a serious chance to affect the outcome.“Heather Wilson was one of Big Oil’s best friends when she was in Washington, and given the opportunity to return, there’s no doubt that she will continue to put polluter profits ahead of New Mexico families,” said Navin Nayak, Senior Vice President of Campaigns.LCV plans to make the New Mexico Senate race a top priority this cycle. Additionally, LCV Action Fund has already raised more than $109,000 for Rep. Martin Heinrich via its <a href="http://www.givegreen.com/" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; text-decoration: none;">GiveGreen</a> website.Wilson’s anti-conservation record:<ul style="margin: 0px 0px 20px 30px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; line-height: 12.8px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><li style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px;">Wilson earned just a 15% LCV lifetime score during her time in the House.

the firedU.S. attorney in New Mexico, had sent an e-mail to a colleague, when he-- and he called his firing a "political fragging," the word that you use whensoldiers kill each other soldiers on one side

kill each other.

BILL MOYERS: Marshall first heard about this from another blogger in New Mexico. As he followed up, it became apparent that Iglesias, aRepublican, had been "fragged" by his own party.

Two senior Members of Congress from New Mexico, Senator Pete Domenici and Representative Heather Wilson, had telephoned Iglesias asking himfor information about sealed indictments in a politically charged investigation concerning state Democrats.JOSH MARSHALL: Representative Wilson, who is Senator Domenici's protégé, was in a very tight race for reelection ... that she eventually won.

But she, it would have been very helpful for her if a Democrat would

have been indicted right before the election. That's why they called

him. That's why the Senator and Representative called him, leaned on him

to bring the indictment. He wouldn't. And I think that was it. And I

think that's why he got fired.

BILL MOYERS: Iglesias told Congress he considered the call from Domenici highly improper.

DAVID IGLESIAS (3/6/07): And he wanted to ask me about the

corruption matters or the corruption cases that had been widely reported

in the local media. I said, 'All right.' And he said, 'Are these going

to be filed before November?' And I said I didn't think so. And to which

he replied, 'I'm very sorry to hear that.' And then the line went dead.

SENATOR SCHUMER: So in other words, he hung up on you?

MR. IGLESIAS: That's how I took that. Yes, sir.

SENATOR SCHUMER: And you didn't say goodbye or anything like that?

MR. IGLESIAS: No, sir.

SENATOR SCHUMER: Now did you take that as a sign of his unhappiness with your decision?

MR. IGLESIAS: I felt sick afterward. So I felt he was upset that -- at hearing the answer that he received.

SENATOR SCHUMER: Right. And so, is it fair to say that you felt pressured to hurry subsequent cases and prosecutions as a result of the call?

MR. IGLESIAS: Yes, sir. I did. I felt leaned on. I felt pressured to get these matters moving.

SENATOR SCHUMER: And as you say, it was unusual for you to receive a call from a senator at home while you were the U.S. attorney.

MR. IGLESIAS: Unprecedented. It had never happened.

BILL MOYERS: Senator Domenici wasn't just calling the

prosecutor. He reached out to the White House where Karl Rove and the

president had already passed onto Gonzales complaints that Iglesias was

not moving on allegations that Democrats were voting improperly in local

elections.

JOSH MARSHALL: The fact that he wouldn't bring what I think

would have clearly been bogus indictments, put him on the outs with

Republican Party officials in his state. And that led to a string of

complaints from Republicans in New Mexico to Karl Rove, to the

President. So, he was already on thin ice.

Wilson, Heather Rep
