WASHINGTON — U.S. Rep. Tom Udall has made it official: He is running for the U.S. Senate.

The Santa Fe Democrat had hinted he would make the move, and on Friday he filed a statement of candidacy, a staff member said.

A campaign kickoff is planned in New Mexico after Thanksgiving, his office said. Udall is campaigning this weekend in Iowa on behalf of Gov. Bill Richardson's race for the Democratic presidential nomination.

When Sen. Pete Domenici, Albuquerque Republican, announced he would not seek re-election next year because of a degenerative brain condition, Udall initially said he was not interested, but he changed his mind after lobbying by Democrats in Washington and New Mexico.
