This week we focused on a hotly contested race for the Bernalillo County District Attorney. Kari Brandenburg is the incumbent, and packs nearly eight years worth of experience in the post. But Lisa Torraco is a fiery career prosecutor armed with questions and criticisms of many of the decisions Brandenburg has made during her tenure. During the show you saw a portion of David’s interview with the two candidates. Here’s the full interview:

Also on our plate this week, the very interesting 3rd Congressional District debate. Interesting, because there is a viable 3rd party candidate in the race, Independent Carol Miller. Once again, we had to edit down our interviews with Miller and her opponents, Democrat Ben Ray Lujan and Republican Dan East. But, not to worry, here are the full versions:

Last but not least this week, we promised you a little online extra segment of THE LINE. Here’s the ever popular “On the Clock“:

It will either be Republican Steve Pearce or Democrat Tom Udall that captures the seat in just a few weeks. Last week, we caught up with Representative Steve Pearce (you can see that interview here). And now, we get to hear the other side of the campaign. David Alire Garcia sat down with Democrat Tom Udall to get his thoughts on the race, and the important issues of the campaign.

And, our two of our Citizen Journalists also got the chance to fire off a few questions at Representative Udall, at a recent endorsement event. First up was Leah Valencia, followed by Kelly Byars.
