| IMMEDIATE RELEASE March 24, 2026 RPNM releases official statement on all qualified candidates ahead of the Primary Election: Albuquerque, NM – The Republican Party of New Mexico is proud to announce a full slate of qualified candidates across federal and statewide races, including write-in candidates for this year’s primary election on June 2. New Mexico voters are tired of seeing elected Democrats take our great state in the wrong direction. Their radical agenda has created a laundry list of problems in our state, ranging from crime, drugs, and homelessness to poor public education, healthcare, and economic trouble. As we are just 70 days away from the primary election in New Mexico, voters across our state have made their voices heard and the status quo is no longer acceptable if we wish to move our state forward. “I’m very proud that we have a list of very talented and qualified Republican candidates who will be on the ballot in June,” said Chairwoman Barela. “I congratulate all of them and trust New Mexico voters to make the very important decision of who will be our Republican nominees heading into November. New Mexico needs change and I’m excited that voters will have many great choices to choose from.” Please see the list of candidates below: Federal U.S. Senate: Larry Marker (write-in) Congressional District 1: Ndidiakama Okpareke Congressional District 2: Gregory Cunningham Jose Orozco Congressional District 3: Martin Zamora Statewide Governor: Greggory Hull Doug Turner Duke Rodriguez Lieutenant Governor: David Gallegos Manuel Lardizabal Aubrey Blair Dunn Secretary of State: Ramona Goolsby Attorney General: Sam Kane State Treasurer: James Ellison (write-in) State Auditor: Joshua James Lawrence (write-in) State Public Land Commissioner: Michael Perry ### |
