NMiF looks at primary candidates for governor

This week, New Mexico in Focus concludes its series of interviews with primary candidates for governor.

Host Nash Jones sits with former Interior Secretary Deb Haaland, as well as her competitor in the Democratic race, Bernalillo County District Attorney Sam Bregman. Both interviews touch upon similar issues: public safety, energy, public education and the state Children, Youth and Families Department.

Last week, NMIF interviewed two of the three Republican candidates running for governor: Doug Turner and Duke Rodriguez.

This week, former Rio Rancho Mayor Gregg Hull speaks with politics correspondent Gwyneth Doland.

NMiF airs on NMPBS 5.1 (KNME HD) on Friday, May 15, at 7 p.m. and Sunday, May 17 at 7 a.m. and streaming on the PBS video app. Involved, informed, in-depth media: watch New Mexico in Focus again online shortly thereafter.
