George R.R. Martin Campaigning for Senator Tom Udall
We all know our beloved author of A Song of Ice and Fire keeps a very busy schedule, and has many varied and outside interests. That includes the politics of his home state, New Mexico.
With the US election only weeks away, and the Senate in the balance, Martin is stepping up to help incumbent Sen. Tom Udall (D-NM) to retain his seat. Udall was first elected to the Senate in 2008. If he’s successful, this will be his second term serving the people of New Mexico.
To that end, Martin is hosting a fundraiser on Udall’s behalf at his personal cinema in Santa Fe on October 7th. Anyone can enter to win and meet Martin. If you do enter and win, I would’t advise asking when The Winds of Winter is coming out. Remember, every time you ask, Martin kills another Stark. You might try to ask about certain fan theories though, and see how far you get.
Details below.
From the press release, here’s how to enter:
George R.R. Martin of Game of Thrones is jumping into New Mexico politics to support Senator Tom Udall. George and Tom are teaming up — with George hosting a fundraiser at his personal cinema in Santa Fe on October 7th on behalf of Tom.
One contest winner – and a friend – will win a trip to Santa Fe to attend the event and meet George and Tom at a V.I.P. reception. To enter, click here.
The public will also be able to buy tickets to have dinner with George and Tom, attend the VIP reception, or attend the main event. To enter, click here.
Martin has been long active in environmental causes, so it’s not surprising to see him support the Democratic candidate. Tom Udall is a pretty sure bet though. Last numbers from Election Projection put his with a comfortable double digit lead over the Republican Allen Weh.
