Mayor Chavez’s Potential Fourth Term, President Bush’s Legacy on This Week’s “New Mexico in Focus”

One of the questions floating around Albuquerque political circles is “will Martin Chavez run for another term as Mayor of Albuquerque?” This week, on “New Mexico in Focus,” co-host David Alire Garcia sits down with Mayor Chavez to ask him that question, and talk about Albuquerque’s past, present and future. “New Mexico in Focus,” KNME-TV, channel 5’s weekly one-hour news show, will air on Friday, Jan. 16 at 7 p.m. and will repeat on Sunday, Jan. 18 at 6:30 a.m.

Also, the panel this week will debate Governor Richardson’s plans for New Mexico budget crisis, the latest news in the housing authority scandal, and President Bush’s legacy. Joining co-host Gene Grant are regular panelists Jim Scarantino and Whitney Cheshire, and guest panelists Antoniette Sedillo Lopez with the University of New Mexico School of Law, and GOP political consultant Doug Turner.

Producers of ‘New Mexico In Focus’ are Kevin McDonald and Kathy Wimmer. Closed captioning has been made possible by a gift from Mrs. Elspeth G. Bobbs.
