.

*The New Mexico Secretary of State*, Maggie Toulouse-Oliver, had a teletown
hall with Othiamba Uni from AARP New Mexico about the upcoming election.
When he asked her how people could find out information about candidates,
her recommendation was to look at the information the League of Women
Voters provides. She said she has always used it for help informing her
about candidates where she needed to know more.
