No piece of legislation in the last decade has had as much impact on the New Mexico Legislature as House Bill 51 in 2019, cosponsored by Rep. Joanne Ferrary of Las Cruces.

Former state senator and Public Regulation Commission member Steve Fischmann discusses his time in both the Legislature and PRC.
Columnist Merritt Allen discusses changes in Republican leadership that will come following the November election. She is also a leader in the effort to form an independent redistricting commission.
