This week on New Mexico in Focus, the Line Opinion Panel returns to the studio for in-person analysis of the 2022 election. Gene Grant asks panelists how Gabe Vasquez was able to hold on to his slim lead in Congressional District 2.
Plus, the Line Panelists discuss Mark Ronchetti’s campaign for governor, and round out their election discussion with a critique of the New Mexico Republican Party’s approach to other statewide races.
Our Land Senior Producer Laura Paskus interviews Greg Mello, executive director of the Los Alamos Study Group, about a new plan to LANL to expand production of a major component of nuclear weapons.
