Another potential presidential candidate -- Kentucky's @GovAndyBeshear -- is coming to New Mexico. Beshear is joining @DebHaalandNM at an event Sunday in Española to "discuss and answer questions about healthcare, affordability, and the future of New Mexico." #nmpol
Beshear's visit isn't exactly a big surprise. My colleague, ace reporter @clarabatess, reported in August that Beshear was among several Democrats weighing presidential runs who had reached out to @GovMLG. santafenewmexican.com/news/l…

Sending well wishes to state Sen. Rex Wilson, who is resting and recovering at home after a heifer kicked him in the chest Sunday morning. "This is just everyday life as a New Mexico rancher," a spokesperson for the @NMSenate_GOP caucus said. santafenewmexican.com/news/l… #nmpol
Trick or treat! @NMDEMS have launched a new Halloween-themed website focused on healthcare that portrays GOP gubernatorial nominee @GreggHullforNM as a vampire, his running mate @gallegos4nm as a skeleton and @realDonaldTrump as Frankenstein. santafenewmexican.com/news/e… #nmpol

The studio in the @KOB4 newsroom had all the makings of a gubernatorial debate Thursday night. But with Democrat @DebHaalandNM some 200 miles away, the event turned into a one-man show the station billed as a conversation with Republican @GreggHullforNM. santafenewmexican.com/news/e…
My thanks to @KOB4 for allowing me in their studio for tonight’s conversation with Republican gubernatorial nominee @GreggHullforNM. The station has a podium set up in case @DebHaalandNM shows up to debate. #nmpol

Efforts to schedule a gubernatorial debate between @DebHaalandNM and @GreggHullforNM are at a dead end, prompting Haaland's campaign to announce an end to discussions and plans to move past what it called "this sideshow." santafenewmexican.com/news/e… #nmpol
