THERE’S A NEW DEVELOPMENT IN THE MAYOR’S RACE IN ALBUQUERQUE. RICARDO CHAVEZ SAYS HE’S WITHDRAWING FROM THE RACE AND THROWING HIS SUPPORT BEHIND DAN LEWIS.
IN A STATEMENT RELEASED THURSDAY, CHAVEZ SAYS HE IS AWARE OF THE POLL NUMBERS AND IS CONVINCED HE WOULD HAVE COME UP SHORT ON ELECTION DAY. HE SAYS LEWIS HAS THE BEST CHANCE OF MAKING IT TO A RUNOFF, SHOULD ONE BE NEEDED.
