Plame would run as a Democrat in her adopted home of New Mexico. Rep. Ben Ray Luján’s decision to run for the Senate created an open House seat.
By Colby Itkowitz Colby Itkowitz Congress, campaigns, health policy, Pennsylvania politics Email Bio Follow April 5 at 5:11 PM Valerie Plame, the former CIA officer whose identity was leaked in 2003 by members of the George W. Bush administration, is seriously considering running for Congress in New Mexico in 2020.
Plame became a household name after she was identified by name in a Washington Post column, setting off a two-year-long investigation into who leaked her identity. At the time she was married to former ambassador Joseph Wilson, who publicly disputed the Bush administration claim that Iraq was trying to acquire uranium for weapons of mass destruction.
“Let’s #BuyTwitter and delete Trump’s account before he starts a nuclear war with it. The whole world will thank us when we do!” she wrote on a GoFundMe page that ultimately raised $89,719.
