NMPBS Election Special 10/15, 8a: Rep. Deb Haaland (Democrat) is seeking a second term in this year’s First Congressional District campaign, against challenger Michelle Garcia Holmes (Republican). The district spans much of central New Mexico, including most of Bernalillo and Torrance Counties, parts of Sandoval, Santa Fe and Valencia Counties as well as several Pueblos. The seat has not elected a Republican since 2008, but has boasted some big historical names from the party, including Heather Wilson and Steve Schiff. New Mexico in Focus host Gene Grant sat down with both of the candidates, for in-depth interviews on the policies and issues they are focusing on to try and win a seat in Congress for the next two years.
