Haaland vs Hull on New Mexico's Future | Albuquerque News

New Mexico’s gubernatorial race is heating up as Deb Haaland and Gregg Hull clashed in a high-stakes forum, each offering starkly different visions for tackling the state’s affordability crisis, public safety, and economic future. Haaland, the Democratic frontrunner with deep national experience and a war chest of over $13 million, focused on housing affordability, inflation relief, and renewable energy — even proposing tapping New Mexico’s $75 billion sovereign wealth fund. Hull, the Republican challenger with a lean campaign budget of just under $1 million, pushed for sweeping tax cuts, including eliminating personal income tax, while also highlighting water shortages and calling for economic growth. Though both candidates acknowledged rising costs, their solutions diverged sharply — Haaland prioritized social equity and long-term sustainability, while Hull emphasized market-driven reform and fiscal responsibility. With Election Day just 60 days away, voters are watching closely as this race could reshape New Mexico’s future. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
