[1] Lt. Gov. Howie Morales announces he will not run for governor – With only one year left in his term, Lieutenant Governor Howie Morales has announced his next steps following his time in office. He made a formal announcement on Sunday, stating that he will not be seeking a bid for the governorship next year after serving alongside Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham for seven years. Over the next year, Morales plans to work with state leaders to address critical issues facing New Mexico, particularly regarding crime and the expansion of mental health resources.
[2] National Guard deployment causes worry over New Mexico wildfire funds – Operation Zia Shield will deploy 77 National Guard members to assist APD in certain capacities. State forester Laura McCarthy says while New Mexico is in the most dangerous part of the fire season, she isn't concerned that funding used to pay for Operation Zia Shield will have an impact on emergency response, something people against the deployment have raised concerns about. The state has an emergency contingency fund and a backup operational reserve fund to draw from when an emergency strikes.
[3] Active weather returns to start the week – More moisture will move into eastern New Mexico Monday, bringing a better chance for showers and thunderstorms up to the northern mountains as well. Outflow from those storms will push moisture as far west as the Continental Divide on Tuesday morning. This will bring a more widespread chance for storms on Tuesday afternoon. Rain chances move back into eastern parts of the state Wednesday.
[4] Animal Welfare Department expands days of service at westside shelter – Beginning today, Albuquerque's Westside Animal Shelter will be open seven days a week. Operational hours at the shelter are 9 a.m. – 6 p.m. Pet viewing hours will be 10:30 a.m. – 5:30 p.m. The Eastside Shelter already operates seven days a week.
[5] Hot Rods for Hunger benefiting Storehouse New Mexico – Hot Rods For Hunger, a yearly car show and raffle benefiting Storehouse New Mexico, took place at the Albertson's parking lot off Eubank and Candelaria. Organized by Subaru of New Mexico, the event showcased various vintage muscle cars, it was also about raising money to help New Mexicans facing empty pantries and plates. If you couldn't make it to Sunday's event, the storehouse is always accepting donations of non-perishable goods like peanut butter, pasta, and canned goods.
