Conservative talk show host and station owner Eddy Aragon is running for mayor in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Aragon runs the “Rock of Talk” KIVA-AM.
“Who’s ready to #SaveABQ? Aragon asked in a Facebook post. “Say no tyranny, lockdowns, mandates, and defund the police.”
According to his Linked In page, Aragon has spent the last eight years building a platform focused on talk radio programming and developing new ways of consuming audio entertainment including news and music.
“I just want to live in a better place,” he told KOAT-TV. “And, when there wasn’t anybody there that was speaking up for the conservatives, the Republicans and the independents out there, that’s when I immediately jumped on board”
Aragon used his radio show to get enough signatures using his talk show as a platform to get people to go to a website and sign an online petition.
“I’m very passionate about people. And that gives me purpose every single day on my radio show and what I do,” Aragon said.
