ALBUQUERQUE’S MAYORAL ELECTION IS A LITTLE MORE THAN TWO MONTHS AWAY. EIGHT NAMES WILL BE ON THE BALLOT OCTOBER THIRD…AND WITH THAT MANY CANDIDATES, INCLUDING FOUR WITH LOTS OF MONEY AND NAME RECOGNITION, POLITICAL ANALYST JOE MONAHAN SAYS IT MAY NOT END THERE.
HE SAYS WITH EIGHT CANDIDATES IN THE RUNNING, IT’S LIKELY NOT ONE OF THEM WILL GET 50 PERCENT OF THE VOTE, MEANING A RUNOFF ELECTION COULD BE NECESSARY ON NOVEMBER 7TH.
WITH R-J BERRY NOT SEEKING ANOTHER TERM, THIS WILL BE THE FIRST TIME IN 20 YEARS THAT THERE WON’T BE AN INCUMBENT IN ALBUQUERQUE’S RACE FOR MAYOR.
