Miyagishima Out, Hull In | Santa Fe News

Former Las Cruces Mayor Ken Miyagishima has dropped out of the governor’s race after falling short of the 28,800 signatures needed to get on the ballot, collecting only about 20,000. Instead of fighting for ballot access, he’s now backing fellow candidate Gregg Hull, bringing his network of supporters with him. Known for 12 years of collaboration, Miyagishima is channeling his energy into Hull’s campaign, focusing on southern New Mexico and tribal communities. Hull, who shares Miyagishima’s track record on budget management and public safety, sees the endorsement as a unifying force that transcends party lines — proving that effective governance isn’t partisan. Though Miyagishima won’t appear on the ballot, his influence is now a key asset for Hull’s bid. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
