What happens when a contractor who has spent his career solving problems decides New Mexico's biggest project is fixing state government?

This week on The Chile Wire, Abe Baldonado sits down with House District 44 candidate Adam Prior to discuss why he's running for office and why he believes New Mexico is at a turning point.

Prior shares how witnessing the fall of the Berlin Wall and visiting the Dachau concentration camp shaped his views on government power, how the COVID-19 shutdowns ultimately pushed him into politics, and why he believes state leaders have made New Mexico less affordable for families and small businesses.

The conversation dives into some of the state's biggest issues, including:

• Government overreach and individual liberty
• Taxes, regulations, and the challenges facing small businesses
• New Mexico's healthcare and doctor shortage
• Crime, public safety, and judicial accountability
• Education reform and workforce development
• Why independent voters could decide the future of New Mexico

From personal stories—including surviving a heart attack—to his vision for restoring opportunity and economic growth, Prior explains why he believes it's time for a different direction in Santa Fe.
