Former Interior Secretary Deb Haaland wins Democratic nomination in New Mexico governor’s race
- Former U.S. Interior Secretary Deb Haaland secured a decisive victory in Tuesday's primary to become the Democratic nominee for governor of New Mexico, soundly defeating Bernalillo County District Attorney Sam Bregman with roughly 73% of the vote.
- Former Rio Rancho Mayor Gregg Hull clinched the Republican gubernatorial nomination, securing about 46% of the vote to emerge victorious from a three-way race against small-business owner Doug Turner and cannabis executive Duke Rodriguez.
- If elected in November, Haaland would make history as the first female Native American governor in United States history, adding to her trailblazing record as one of the first Native women in Congress and the first to serve in a presidential Cabinet.
- The high-stakes race to succeed term-limited Democratic Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham will center heavily on managing the state's massive economy, which has reaped an unprecedented revenue windfall from soaring oil and natural gas prices amid the ongoing conflict in Iran.
- The general election will present voters with a stark contrast on critical local issues, matching Haaland's progressive platform prioritizing universal child care, education funding, and tighter fossil fuel regulations against Hull's conservative platform focused on job creation, infrastructure improvement, and cracking down on violent crime.
