Governance and Leadership in New Mexico
December 11, 2020 – Gene Grant and The Line opinion panelists debate the roller coaster ride over appointments in President-elect Joe Biden’s cabinet and how Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham lost out on a Health and Human Services position. They speculate on who Biden will choose to head the Dept. of the Interior, still up for grabs at the time this segment was recorded. The Line also looks at whether New Mexico Republicans’ reelection of Steve Pearce as party chair may mean another run for public office in his future.
