Candidates for New Mexico governor and other top state and federal offices will compete for their parties’ nominations in a state primary on Tuesday. Outgoing Democratic Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham is term-limited. Running for the Democratic nomination to replace Lujan Grisham are former congresswoman and former U.S. Interior Secretary Deb Haaland and Bernalillo County District Attorney Sam Bregman. The candidates in the Republican primary are former Rio Rancho Mayor Gregg Hull, medical cannabis entrepreneur and former state cabinet secretary Duke Rodriguez and small business owner Doug Turner. Haaland was the first Native American cabinet secretary and, if elected, would be the first Native American woman to serve as governor of any state.
