SEATTLE - Nella Domenici, the daughter of the last Republican senator of New Mexico and now a candidate herself, is facing scrutiny over her cancelation of an interview on a popular Albuquerque-based radio show because her campaign disapproved of the questions submitted in advance.

Domenici, who served as one of New Mexico's senators from 1972 to 2008, is the Republican candidate competing for the senior Senate seat that has been held by Democrat Martin Heinrich since 2013.
