Mayoral candidates discuss city's future in tense televised debate
our of the six mayoral candidates clashed over how to handle Albuquerque’s biggest issues during KOAT-TV’s televised debate Wednesday afternoon.
Three challengers, Louie Sanchez, Alex Uballez and Darren White, criticized incumbent Mayor Tim Keller on all fronts, including the deployment of the National Guard, homelessness and crime.
“You see candidates either proposing my ideas or just blaming the problem,” Keller said. “I’m the one actually doing the work.”
Three challengers were left out of the debate — Mayling Armijo, Eddie Varela and Daniel Chavez. Chavez suspended his campaign last month, while Armijo and Varela were excluded due to low polling numbers in the latest Journal Poll, according to KOAT.
