Confirmed: 11 Dem. Senators in New Mexico
By Byron LaMasters
The San Antonio Express News reports:
Sen. Leticia Van de Putte, a San Antonio Democrat and chairwoman of her party’s Senate caucus, flew to Albuquerque, N.M., today with the 10 other senators on two private jets.
“We're all of us sitting here around the conference table” at an airport in Albuquerque, said Sen. Juan Hinojosa, D-McAllen.
Hinojosa, who declined to say who owned the aircraft the Democrats took to New Mexico, said they would stay away “as long as necessary” to kill the redistricting effort.
My radio is tuned to KRLD 1080 in Dallas. I hope that they'll cover the press conference. Otherwise I'll try another station, but the Democratic Senators ought to have a press conference very soon, via Quorum Report:

CONFIRMATION OF SENATE LOCATION
The Albuquerque Marriott Pyramid
Press conference imminent
Update: KRLD has said that they'll be interviewing Sen. Royce West (D-Dallas) in the next 30 minutes.
