Listen "Elections Roundup, Roundhouse Gun Ban and Honoring Zuni Artist We:Wa | 11.5.21"
Episode Synopsis
                            The Line panel digs into Tuesday’s election results in races around the state. Both Albuquerque and Santa Fe re-elected their progressive, incumbent mayors. How will Mayor Keller navigate a second term in Albuquerque with a more conservative city council? And what was the key for Alan Webber in Santa Fe as he sailed to a clear victory? The panel also digs into the decisive decision on a publicly funded soccer stadium in Albuquerque and what’s next for New Mexico United.
Albuquerque Mayor Tim Keller and First Lady Elizabeth Kistin chat with Gene Grant about the election cycle and his priorities for the city headed into his second term.
After a decision to ban guns at the New Mexico State Capitol, our Line panel discusses the implications, both from safety and political perspectives. The panel considers the issue of intimidation, and the impact this could have on the Governor if she’s politically linked to the decision.
Native culture was in the international spotlight this week when Google published a New Mexican woman’s tribute to revered Zuni potter and fiber artist. Correspondent Antonia Gonzales speaks with Zuni Pueblo Artist Mallery Quetawki about her piece and the significance of Google’s interest in Native representation.
Line Opinion Panelists:
Dan Foley, former House Minority Whip
Michael Bird, former President, American Public Health Association
Inez Russell Gomez, editorial page editor, Santa Fe New Mexican
Guests:
Mallery Quetawki, Zuni Pueblo Artist
Tim Keller, Albuquerque Mayor
Elizabeth J. Kistin, Albuquerque First Lady
