Let’s Talk New Mexico 11/4 8am: It’s local election time with big decisions for voters like mayoral races, city council contests, and bonds, including that controversial stadium bond in Albuquerque. This week on Let’s Talk New Mexico we’ll look at how it all went down with journalists covering local issues around the state. We’ll discuss who won and which issues brought voters to the polls.
We want to hear from you, too. Did you vote in this election? Why or why not? What issues were most important to you at the voting booth this year? Did you have any problems getting your vote cast? Email LetsTalk@KUNM.org or call in live during the show, Thursday morning at 8 on KUNM.
