Congressional District One Candidates Janice Arnold-Jones (R) and Michelle Lujan Grisham (D) The Candidates for the First Congressional District, JANICE ARNOLD-JONES (R) and MICHELLE LUJAN GRISHAM (D) -- Together For A Sit-Down, In-Depth Discussion The two candidates for the First Congressional District, Michelle Lujan Grisham (D) and Janice Arnold-Jones (R), join Lorene Mills in a discussion, rather than a debate, of what needs to be done in Congress over the next term. Both women have a great deal of experience and they discuss the budget, healthcare reform, how to protect programs like the National Labs and Medicaid/Medicare that are so important to New Mexicans, and how to avoid the toxic partisan gridlock that is poisoning national politics. As host Lorene Mills says, “You are women that I really admire and respect. And I know that we can add something new to the political discourse now, because there are a lot of negative ads, there are a lot of debates where every second is accounted for - you have got 15 seconds for a rebuttal and there is no natural flow of ideas - and what made this state great and its political progress great, used to be intelligent people exchanging ideas. I am glad that you came.” Watch Episode
