DEMOCRATS COULD POTENTIALLY ADD TO THEIR MAJORITY IN THE NEW MEXICO LEGISLATURE FOLLOWING THE NOVEMBER ELECTION. POLITICAL ANALYST JOE MONAHAN SAYS THE G.O.P. MAY LOSE ALBUQUERQUE HOUSE DISTRICT 68, CURRENTLY HELD BY REPRESENTATIVE MONICA YOUNGBLOOD. HE SAYS AFTER HER ARREST FOR AGGRAVATED DWI, IT TURNED INTO WHAT HE CALLS A “DOG FIGHT.”
A JUDGE CONVICTED YOUNGBLOOD AND SHE ENDING UP SPENDING ONE NIGHT IN JAIL. MONAHAN SAYS IT COULD TURN INTO AN UNEXPECTED GIFT FOR THE DEMOCRAT IN THE RACE, KAREN BASH.
