Big Money Race for BernCo DA; Authors Speak Up

This week on New Mexico in Focus, Executive Producer Jeff Proctor speaks with two Source New Mexico journalists about the loophole they found in a transparency law that leaves voters with more information about one candidate than the other in the big-money race for Bernalillo County district attorney. 

In the second of a two-part interview with Jeff, Sarah Silva tells us about her work as a community organizer in Las Cruces.  

Correspondent Gwyneth Doland interviews three St. John’s College-affiliated authors about the value of a liberal arts education.
