Listen "Public Campaign Financing & Ranked Choice Voting"
Episode Synopsis
It's local election season. In Albuquerque and Santa Fe, mayoral and city council candidates have an opportunity to fund their campaigns with taxpayer money if they qualify for public financing. In Albuquerque, just one candidate for mayor reached the threshold for public dollars: incumbent Mayor Tim Keller. Senior Producer Lou DiVizio met with one of the people who originally crafted Albuquerque's public financing system, former city councilor Eric Griego, to ask him if it's still working. And, Santa Fe County Clerk Katharine Clark stops by our studio to break down how Santa Fe's ranked-choice voting system works. Podcast Host: Lou DiVizioGuest: Dr. Eric Griego, Ph.D., Former Albuquerque City Councilor, UNM Adjunct Professor NMiF Show Host: Nash JonesGuest: Katharine Clark, SF County Clerk
