Deb Haaland Picks Stephanie Garcia Richard | Santa Fe News

New Mexico Democrats have officially picked Stephanie Garcia Richard as their lieutenant governor running mate to Deb Haaland, after a tight ranked vote that saw her edge out Harold Pope Junior by just seven votes. Garcia Richard, currently Land Commissioner, steps in for Maggie Toulouse-Oliver, who withdrew for health reasons. The duo, running against GOP nominees Gregg Hull and David Gallegos, promise a bold agenda focused on lowering costs, expanding healthcare, enhancing public safety, and strengthening education — all while emphasizing their shared vision for a stronger New Mexico. The campaign is now fully underway for November’s election. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
