might be odd for someone to know this was someone charged with a possession charge and able to run for office. on although he had a prior felony, he was adjudicated to still run for office? it was not a violation of your state law. is that right? that s correct. there was a challenge brought by someone during the last election cycle to see whether he was qualified to stand for public office. there was a district court judge in albuquerque who ruled that he was in fact qualified to remain on the ballot. i don t know if the legislature intends to reexamine that. this is someone with a long criminal history. as you noted at the top of your program, this is someone associated with people who were engaged in drug trafficking and have access to some pretty significant weapons. so we re really just at the initial stages of the investigation, trying to understand everyone who was involved, the name of their
