| IMMEDIATE RELEASE April 21, 2026 New Mexico Supreme Court reaches decision in Rep. Rebecca Dow’s ballot access case Santa Fe, NM – This morning, the New Mexico Supreme Court has issued a decision in Rep. Rebecca Dow’s ballot access case. Please see the statement below by RPNM Chairwoman, Amy Barela: “The New Mexico Supreme Court’s unanimous decision to place Rebecca Dow back on the ballot is a victory for fairness, election integrity, and the rule of law,” said Chairwoman Amy Barela. “After the partisan ruling from the Doña Ana County judge, the Supreme Court recognized the truth: the system is flawed, and the signatures collected were valid from the start because they were gathered in accordance with the process as it currently exists. This decision is a win for every candidate and every voter who believes elections should be conducted fairly and consistently. It also shines a light on the serious need to correct these flawed processes that the Secretary of State has failed to address.” ### |
