N.M. Lt. Gov. Howie Morales discusses a possible run for governor and his role in the Roundhouse

Howie Morales served 11 years in the New Mexico Senate and has been lieutenant governor since 2019. In the latest episode of "Around the Roundhouse," Santa Fe New Mexican reporter Daniel J. Chacón speaks to Morales about his role in the Roundhouse working with Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham, and his thoughts on a possible run for the Democratic nomination for governor. Morales discusses his decision between a run for governor and applying to be the president of Western New Mexico University, which is in his hometown of Silver City. He talks about what he learned from his previous attempt at running for the Democratic nomination for governor in 2014, and his thoughts on the two candidates that have formally announced their campaigns so far — former U.S. Interior Secretary Deb Haaland and Bernalillo County District Attorney Sam Bregman. After asking Morales about his opinion on this year's 60-day legislative session and a possible special session, Chacón touches on some lighter topics including Morales' reputation as being one of the nicest people in state politics and his sports background.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
