The Line: Political Landscape Leading To Primaries

June 1, 2018 – Election Day is June 5, but only for New Mexican voters registered with one of three major parties in the state: Democratic, Republican or Libertarian. There is a push, however, from a group called Unite New Mexico that wants to remind voters that there are viable candidates who will be running as independents in the general election.  Gene Grant and the Line opinion panelists look at the group’s message, and also at which governor candidates did – and did not – agree to release their tax returns.
