Where did Albuquerque weatherman Mark Ronchetti go?

I know he won the GOP nomination to run for U.S. Senate from New Mexico;
and I last saw him in a TV ad months ago where he said he wanted to bring ‘Trump values’ to New Mexico.

But he seems to have totally disappeared.
What happened? Is he OK?

Meanwhile, a Senior GOP Alligator tells us the National Republican Senatorial Committee is taking a pass on targeting the Lujan-Ronchetti race because it does not see a path to victory. Presumably they did polling. Without that targeting Ronchetti will be hard-pressed to raise funds to be competitive. More debates would help.

Ronchetti this week came with his first general election TV ad. In it he says he's believes in the New Mexico values of "faith, family and freedom." Lujan began advertising in mid-July.

He'll try to move onto a job with the N.M. or national GOP.

Betting he'll end up doing TV weather in Greasy Corner, Arkansas.
