The unique challenges facing entrepreneurs on the reservation, economic resilience in rural and underserved communities, the Keller – Lewis debate, plus the Line Panel.

October 25, 2017

This week on New Mexico in Focus, producer Sarah Gustavus visits the Navajo Nation to look at the unique challenges facing entrepreneurs on the reservation. She also sits down with Leah Todd of the Solutions Journalism Network, one of the media partners in this State of Change project, focusing on economic resilience in rural and underserved communities.

The two candidates vying to be the next mayor of Albuquerque, Tim Keller and Dan Lewis, faced off recently at a debate held at Congregation Albert. The New Mexico in Focus crew was there to capture the event, and an excerpt will air this week. The full debate can be seen on New Mexico PBS on Thursday, November 2^nd at 7:00 p.m.

And NMiF host Gene Grant and the Line opinion panelists analyze some of the current stories in the news, including updates on the Albuquerque mayoral race, the loss of primary care physicians to “concierge” care, and the loss of the godfather of New Mexican music, Al Hurricane.
