New Mexico Could Go Early in 2028 Race | Santa Fe News

New Mexico could be poised to make a big splash in the 2028 Democratic presidential race, potentially becoming one of the first states to hold its primary — right after South Carolina, Nevada, and New Hampshire. The move, backed by a DNC committee, aims to amplify the voices of the state’s large Hispanic and Native American communities, ensuring their influence is felt early in the nomination process. While the full DNC must still approve the plan in August and New Mexico lawmakers need to tweak state law, if it passes, it could draw more national attention and political investment to the Land of Enchantment — reshaping the early primary calendar and diversifying who gets a seat at the table.

Jail Overdose Crisis in Northern New Mexico | Santa Fe News

A 30-year-old man died just three days after being booked into Santa Fe County jail, succumbing to a fatal drug overdose involving fentanyl and other substances — and he reportedly refused life-saving medication. This tragic case highlights a growing crisis: the jail has seen dozens of suspected overdoses in recent years, with 14 total deaths between 2021 and 2024, and overdoses spiking sharply in 2023. Northern New Mexico is ground zero for the opioid epidemic, with over 170 fatal overdoses in Santa Fe and Rio Arriba counties last year alone. Jail officials are on high alert, deploying scanners, drug-sniffing dogs, and frequent searches — but drugs still slip in. Law enforcement has cracked down, arresting inmates and staff suspected of smuggling, including a jail guard accused of distributing fentanyl. The fight against deadly drugs inside these walls is far from over. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
