Gregg Hull, the former mayor of Rio Rancho, has won the Republican nomination in New Mexico's open-seat gubernatorial race. Hull campaigned on issues such as public safety, government experience, and economic growth. He defeated Doug Turner, a businessman, and Duke Rodriguez, a former New Mexico Human Services Secretary. Turner focused on jobs and education reform, while Rodriguez emphasized addiction treatment and healthcare reform. Hull has called for tougher measures against violent crime and fentanyl trafficking, criticizing the current Democratic leadership. He will face Deb Haaland, former Interior Secretary under President Joe Biden, in the general election. This race is significant as Republicans aim to regain the governor's office in New Mexico for the first time since 2019, following the term-limited Democratic Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham.
