ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – The first chapter of the 2024 election is here with New Mexicans taking part in the primary election on Tuesday, June 4. This time around, while Republicans are looking a few intraparty contests, there are far more contested races inside the Democratic party.

This week on the New Mexico News Podcast, UNM Political Science Professor and KRQE Political Analyst, Gabe Sanchez, joins Chris and Gabby to discuss the implications of this year’s primaries, and how they could reshape the dynamics of the state legislature.

The state’s top two District Attorneys are also facing Democratic-party challengers in Albuquerque and Santa Fe. Bernalillo County DA Sam Bregman is up against former U.S. Attorney Damon Martinez. In Santa Fe, current DA Mary Carmack Altweis is facing a challenger in Marco Serna.

What does it mean for state politics if more ‘progressive’ Democrats win the primaries? And what will it take for Republicans to gain more ground in the legislature?

Those questions and more are discussed with Sanchez in the full episode above. Or you can listen to the New Mexico News Podcast wherever you get your podcasts.
