New Mexico Governor’s Race Intensifies

New Mexico’s governor’s race is heating up as five candidates battle it out in the final week before the primary — narrowing to just two, one Democrat and one Republican, who’ll face off in November. But it’s not just the top job: voters also decide on key races for U.S. Senate, Secretary of State, and public lands commissioner. Democrats split between a former DA touting results and a Congress veteran with Interior experience. Republicans bring diverse backgrounds — from mayor to Wall Street — each claiming unique qualifications. Meanwhile, the lieutenant governor race pits Democrats (a state senator vs. term-limited Secretary of State) against three Republicans (attorney, state senator, pastor). And in the Senate, the incumbent faces an unexpected primary challenger — all while Democrats jostle for the public lands commissioner slot. Voters have a lot on their ballots — and a lot to decide before November. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
