New Mexico's race for governor is heating up. Two Democrats and three Republicans are vying for their parties' nomination to earn a spot on the November ballot. In this special primary election episode, Democratic candidates Deb Haaland and Sam Bregman sit down for in-depth conversations about the issues shaping the campaign. Haaland, the former Congresswoman and U.S. Secretary of the Interior, and Bregman, the Bernalillo County District Attorney, outline their visions for the state and how they would tackle some of New Mexico's biggest challenges, including crime, healthcare, education, the economy, and the future of CYFD.

Chris and Gabby press both candidates on their priorities and policy differences ahead of the primaries. This is the first time in New Mexico where independent voters can cast a ballot in a primary race.

Primary Election Day is June 2, and early voting is already underway. Tune in for our live Q&A on Fox 505 with each candidate at 6 p.m. on May 12, followed by live analysis from Chris and Gabby on the New Mexico News Insiders Podcast - livestreamed on YouTube. Interviews with the Republican candidates for governor will air in a later episode of this podcast.
