It Appears that Albuquerque has elected a new Mayor, Richard Berry. At 9:50pm the New Mexico Independent reported that Mayor Chavez has spoken with Berry and the two will meet tomorrow at Noon. Mayor Chavez met with his supporters at about 9:40pm telling them it appears Berry will be the next Mayor, It’s not over, but doesn’t look good.
As I write this at 9:55pm Berry 40.7% Chavez 35.47 and Romero 23.61% With about 45% of the vote in.
Richard Berry is the only candidate who is not for same sex marriage.He is a Republican and State Rep. This is a huge victory for the Republican Party. Could this momentum carry over into the race for Governor?
Dan Lewis who campaigned together with Berry on the Westside where I live is beating incumbent Michael Cadigan in the race for City Council. A major shift on the Council will occur with a Lewis victory.
KKIM’s Frank Haley will have details in the morning
