Recently, the Democratic nominee for House District 53, Dr. Jon Hill, announced his withdrawal from the race amidst health concerns. Yesterday we heard from Sarah Silva, who said she is running for the Democratic nomination for House District 53. Today Scott Brocato speaks with another candidate for the Democratic nomination, Kasey Peña.

KRWG Public Media has reached out to Willie Madrid, who is also seeking the Democratic nomination for the New Mexico House District 53 seat, for an interview.
