On newsstands this week…


The birds are chirping, flowers are blooming and politicians are campaigning. Yes, it’s already that time of year: Primary election season. 

But don’t fret, dear politically engaged reader, we’ve got you covered. 

This week’s election guide has the basics, such as how to vote and who’s running

We also previewed a few races to help folks stay informed and up to date. A Democratic incumbent on the Westside, for example, is facing a challenger who’s looking to shake things up. Another Democrat who represents a sizable chunk of the North Valley and a part of Downtown is also facing an opponent from his party. 

Rounding out our election coverage is an interesting race to fill the shoes of a longtime state representative in a southeast Albuquerque district.

P.S. We’ve got a cool story about truck drivers and weed. Also, don’t forget to check our events page!
