George R.R. Martin is going from the game of thrones to the game of political campaigning.
The author behind the fantasy book series that inspired HBO's "Game of Thrones" will stump for U.S. Sen. Tom Udall at a youth voting rally Tuesday afternoon in Santa Fe.
Campaign representatives for the Democratic incumbent say most seats at the Santa Fe Farmer's Market Pavilion are being reserved for high school and college students.
The rally begins at 4:30 p.m. Free buses for attendees from Albuquerque will be leaving from the University of New Mexico starting at 2:45 p.m.
Martin will join Udall at a campaign fundraising reception and dinner after at the Jean Cocteau Cinema, which the author owns.
Udall faces Republican challenger Allen Weh in the November election.
