Making good on an earlier threat, activist and actor Russell Means on Monday said he will run for Governor of New Mexico in 2002.

Means will be running as a Libertarian although he is apparently not a registered party member yet. New Mexico's Libertarian party chairman was on hand on Farmington to help announce Means' bid.

Means would face a tough candidate in former Energy Secretary Bill Richardson for the position. Richardson, a former New Mexico Congressman, has formed an exploratory committee to see if he will run for Governor.

Means lives part-time outside of Santa Fe, the state's capital.

No word yet if Means will run for President.
