Politics inside New Mexico’s “Roundhouse” are notoriously complex with legislative success dependent on personal connections, intra-party rivalries, the power of lobbyists, and basic deal making. This year saw a change in House leadership, a different more friendly vibe, and push-back against the Governor’s agenda by fellow Democrats.
