Gregg Hull’s Final Pitch to New Mexico Voters Before Election Day
In this episode of The Chile Wire, host Abe Baldonado sits down with Republican gubernatorial candidate Gregg Hull to discuss the future of New Mexico ahead of Election Day. From affordability and economic growth to public safety and health care, Hull shares his vision for taking the state in a new direction and explains why he believes New Mexico needs a different approach to solving its biggest challenges.
Hull breaks down his four-step plan to eliminate New Mexico’s personal income tax, explaining how he believes putting more money back into taxpayers’ pockets could stimulate the economy, support small businesses, and make life more affordable for working families. The conversation also tackles the importance of New Mexico’s oil and gas industry, the economic consequences of eliminating it, and the role the state’s sovereign wealth funds could play in providing tax relief.
The discussion turns to the growing controversy surrounding AI data centers, including Project Jupiter, the proposed moratorium on new developments, and questions about government regulation, private property rights, and political hypocrisy. Hull argues that New Mexico needs to attract new businesses and create economic opportunities rather than drive industries away, while emphasizing the importance of allowing local communities to decide what works best for them.
With Election Day approaching, Hull makes his case for a new direction in New Mexico and urges voters to make their voices heard.

Who Is Really Out of Touch? Nicole Chavez Defends Her Record and Takes on Lisa Curtis
In this episode of The Chile Wire, we sit down with New Mexico State Representative Nicole Chavez for a candid conversation about her reelection race against Lisa Curtis and the issues shaping the future of New Mexico. Chavez responds to criticism that she is "out of touch" with everyday New Mexicans and discusses the differences between her record and her opponent’s positions on healthcare, medical malpractice reform, and House Bill 99.
With decades of experience in healthcare and a deeply personal connection to New Mexico’s public safety crisis, Chavez explains why she believes the state needs meaningful medical malpractice reform, stronger accountability for criminals, and a justice system that listens to victims and their families. She also shares her perspective on the challenges facing New Mexico’s schools, the need for economic development, and why she believes state and local leadership matter more than national political debates when it comes to solving the problems New Mexicans face every day.
The conversation also tackles Project Jupiter and data centers, the controversy surrounding legislative salaries and term limits, and the importance of holding elected officials accountable for their records and votes. As Election Day approaches, Chavez urges New Mexicans to research their candidates and make their voices heard at the ballot box. 🌶️🗳️
