Episode 140: After the Primaries

What a wild week in New Mexico politics! The long-awaited primary elections had a little bit of everything, from a mammoth battle between Heather Wilson and Steve Pearce, to a slew of overthrow of a string of state lawmakers. It's obvious that on a local and national level, things are about to change in a big way! It will be an exciting general election, and one that will definitely keep all of us at NEW MEXICO IN FOCUS hopping.

One thing I do wish for in the general election is a better turnout. I honestly expected us to break records on Tuesday, and that just didn't happen. With so many monumental races, I just can't understand why more people didn't get out and vote. With absentee voting and early voting growing in popularity, there is just no excuse for not getting involved in the process. We can only hope that this year's historic presidential election will help to drive people to the polls in November. Only time will tell.
