Episode: ABQ Mayoral Candidates Chavez and Varela
Description: We continue our look-ahead to Albuquerque's mayoral election. In an effort to fairly give all seven candidates airtime over the next few weeks, our team set a threshold for who would qualify for a one-on-one interview based on fundraising and petition signatures. Those interviews are forthcoming. Correspondent Cailley Chella sits down with candidates Daniel Chavez and Eddie Varela to get their thoughts on crime, housing and Albuquerque's sanctuary city status.
