Thu. 10/9 7p: The first of three congressional debates KUNM will broadcast before the November 4th election.

Candidates for New Mexico's First District Congressional seat, Democrat Michelle Lujan Grisham, the incumbent, and her Republican challenger Mike Frese debated. It was taped Wednesday in Albuquerque by our media partner New Mexico PBS.

Next Thursday night at 7, we’ll hear from Second District Representative Republican Steve Pearce and his Democratic competition, attorney Roxanne “Rocky” Lara in a debate hosted by KRWG public radio in Las Cruces.

Then on October 30th at 7p, we’ll have the Third District Congressional debate hosting by KENW. Representative Ben Ray Lujan is being challenged for the second time by Republican Jefferson Byrd.
