ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) - The spokeswoman for Republican gubernatorial candidate John Dendahl's campaign was in critical condition Thursday after she was severely beaten in a bank parking lot, officials said.

Paige McKenzie was attacked Wednesday evening in Bernalillo, just north of Albuquerque. Her vehicle was on a jack and its spare tire was out when emergency workers found her, police Chief Fred Radosevich said.

Dendahl said a friend of McKenzie's told him she recognized the assailant, but she did not provide a name.
