Show Notes
Bernalillo County, New Mexicos most populous area, sees key office candidates file their bids. The races include the county assessor and two commissioner seats. Incumbent assessor Damian Lara faces challenges from former county clerk Linda Stover and newcomer Michael Maine. Stover aims to make the office more approachable and cut staff turnover, while Lara highlights his record in boosting affordable housing. In the commissioner races, Barbara Baca in District one has no opposition, while District five incumbent Eric Olivas faces three challengers: Democrat Byron Powdrell, Republican Wayne Yevoli, and Thomas Riley. Powdrell prioritizes public safety and youth programs, while Olivas focuses on sheriff raises and behavioral health funding. County clerk officials are verifying signatures, with official candidates to be named by weeks end, setting the stage for the primary push ahead.
