Good morning, everyone. It’s Thursday. Coming off the heels of a historic Election Night victory, we spent yesterday morning with New Mexico Gov.-elect Deb Haaland at Albuquerque’s Barelas Coffee House, where she announced she was looking to hire “anyone who loves New Mexico and has what it takes to serve” in her incoming administration. We also have a look at how the national blue wave impacted races up and down the ballot in New Mexico on Election Day. You’ll find these stories and more below and online at sourcenm.com — and you’ll hear Source NM Editor-in-Chief Julia Goldberg participating in a post-election discussion on KUNM’s “Let’s Talk New Mexico” at 9 a.m. today. You can tune in online or on the radio at 89.9 FM. Thanks for being here.
