Liberate Our 1st Congressional District seat

Albuquerque, February 3—A half a dozen people have contacted the Republican Party of New Mexico to say they want to represent New Mexico’s 1^st Congressional District in Washington. The 134 members of RPNM’s State Central Committee from CD-1 will eventually elect the party’s Congressional nominee.

At this time the following  people have announced they’re running  for the 1^st Congressional District seat:

1. Eddy Aragon – Albuquerque
2. Peggy Muller Aragon – Albuquerque
3. Michaela Chavez – Albuquerque
4. Michelle Garcia Holmes – Bernalillo
5. Ronnie Lucero – Albuquerque
6. Jared Vander Dussen – Albuquerque

There is no deadline for submitting names until a vacancy is announced. Any interested candidates may contact Nike Kern, RPNM’s Executive Director, at [email protected].

If Rep. Deb Haaland is confirmed by the U.S. Senate to become Interior Secretary, she would resign, leaving her seat vacant. New Mexico’s Secretary of State would then call a special election no later than 91 days after it is vacated.

New Mexico’s 1^st Congressional District includes nearly three-fourths of Albuquerque, most of Bernalillo County, Torrance County and sections of Santa Fe, Sandoval and Valencia Counties.
