KUNM Call In Show 10/9 8a: Call 277-5866 or toll-free 1-877-899-5866. With the proliferation of political action committees (PACs) and super-PACs, candidates for office have access to increasing amounts of campaign funding. Where is the election financing coming from in New Mexico, and who is receiving it? Does having the most money guarantee victory for a candidate? Join us, as we take a look at current candidate funding and explore how the burgeoning legacy of Citizens United v. Federal Elections Commission impacts elections in New Mexico.
We'd like to hear from you! Email callinshow@kunm.org, post your comments online or call in live during the show.
