Gov. Names Expo Director Judith M. Espinosa, who has been serving as Lt. Gov. Diane Denish's chief of staff, is the new director of Expo New Mexico. Gov. Bill Richardson announced the appointment Wednesday. Espinosa replaces Fred Peralta, who is retiring. "Expo New Mexico is a jewel for the state drawing thousands of people to Albuquerque each year," Richardson said in a news release. "I believe Judith will bring her extensive public service experience to the task and partner with our commission to make Expo New Mexico even better for our citizens." Expo New Mexico, situated on 236 acres in the heart of Albuquerque, is home to the New Mexico State Fair, the Downs at Albuquerque racetrack and casino and Tingley Coliseum. Espinosa was environment secretary under Gov. Bruce King and transportation secretary under Gov. Toney Anaya. She also has been director of the Alliance for Transportation Research Institute at the University of New Mexico, where she received a bachelor's degree in nursing and a juris doctorate.
