Zeke Rodriguez is an America First Patriot, Air Force Veteran, and NMSU alumnus with a passion for service and communication. As President of Ace Card Marketing, a podcaster, and a grassroots member of the Republican Party of Doña Ana County, Zeke brings energy and insight to the Chips N Salsa Show. A former state representative candidate, he inspires and engages audiences in conservative circles across New Mexico and beyond, blending his love for country with a sharp focus on local issues. Alice Lara is a lifelong New Mexican, born in Las Cruces and a proud NMSU graduate with a Bachelor’s in Social Work. With a rich career spanning banking, personnel, and talk radio production at KFYI in Phoenix, Alice has deep roots in political engagement. A former Republican Precinct Committeeman, Maricopa Special Health Care District #5 board member, and co-founder of the Arizona Latino Republican Association, she’s a trailblazer in conservative Latino outreach. Alice co-founded the original Chips N Salsa Show in 2014 to challenge the myth that Latinos are only Democrats, and relaunched it in 2023 with Zeke to bring bold conservative voices to New Mexico. Together, Zeke and Alice met at a Coalition of Conservatives in Action meeting, uniting their complementary strengths and shared vision to create a dynamic podcast. As members of the Doña Ana County Republican community—Zeke with his grassroots network and Alice as a District 37 Central Committee member and Federated Republican Women member—they deliver unfiltered takes on politics, culture, and faith. A lifelong Catholic and Pro-life advocate, Alice is active at St. Genevieve’s Catholic Church, while Zeke’s veteran perspective grounds their mission to turn New Mexico red, one spicy conversation at a time.
