Sen. Bill Sharer on filibustering, crime legislation, and not wanting to ride a donkey

  • Summary

  • In this week's episode of "Around the Roundhouse," host Daniel J. Chacón speaks with Senate Minority Leader Bill Sharer to ask him about his skills at filibustering and his objectives for the Republican caucus for the 60-day legislative session.

    Sharer, who is from Farmington and represents District 1, speaks about the challenges and opportunities of organizing a Republican Senate caucus that has 10 new members. He also talks about the struggles the party has had in messaging, saying that Republicans have allowed Democrats to define them to New Mexicans rather than Republicans defining themselves.

    The discussion also touches on the state's crime issues, with Sharer saying New Mexico needs to be stronger at the border to rein in cartel activity. The conversation closes with Sharer criticizing the "Clear Horizons" pollution reduction bill in colorful fashion.
