It really comes down to two individuals in the gubernatorial race for the state of New Mexico, in my humble opinion, Gregg Hull and Deb Haaland.
The Same Old Crowd Supporting Deb Haaland
If you look at all the Democrats who support Deb Haaland, you’ll see it’s the same old group of leftists who have led our great state down to the bottom of the country. Yes, this list is long, and Mayor Gregg Hull has an uphill battle ahead.
Look at all these lifetime politicians who have driven New Mexico to the bottom of all the states, and even behind some of the territories like D.C. and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Her supporters include the likes of Jane Fonda, Elizabeth Warren, Eric Swalwell, and the notorious Planned Parenthood, figures and organizations that represent everything wrong with the political establishment holding our state back.

These people and organizations who have improved the State of New Mexico.
Look at the real leadership who support Gregg Hull.
If you look at all the Democrats who support Deb Haaland, you’ll see it’s the same old group of leftists who have led our great state down to the bottom of the country. Yes, this list is long, and Mayor Gregg Hull has an uphill battle ahead.
The gubernatorial race in New Mexico isn’t just another local election, it’s a major pivot point for the state’s future. With issues like crime, education, energy policy, and economic development all pressing hard on voters, the next governor will play a crucial role in determining how the state moves forward, or doesn’t. It really depends on who the people of New Mexico choose. The people have the power to change New Mexico.
New Mexico faces unique challenges. It has one of the highest poverty rates in the country. Its public education system ranks near the bottom nationally. Violent crime rates, particularly in cities like Albuquerque, remain high. At the same time, it’s sitting on enormous opportunities: booming renewable energy potential, strategic positioning in the Southwest, and a deep cultural and historical richness that can be a driver for tourism, arts, and sustainable development.
That’s why the governor’s race matters so much. Whoever wins won’t just be managing state agencies, they’ll be setting the tone for how the state tackles some of its most entrenched problems and how it capitalizes on its emerging strengths.
Take energy policy, for example. New Mexico is a national leader in oil and gas production, which is a huge source of state revenue. But it’s also rich in solar and wind resources, and many residents care deeply about the environment. The next governor will have to strike a balance between protecting jobs tied to fossil fuels and aggressively moving toward clean energy. How that’s handled could define New Mexico’s economy for the next two decades.
Then there’s education. The state has struggled for years with poor test scores and underfunded schools. The new governor will inherit both the responsibility to improve public education and the pressure to do so in a way that addresses deep-rooted inequalities. This isn’t about minor policy tweaks, it’s about systemic reform that could shape the trajectory of the next generation.
Crime and public safety are also front-and-center. Rising homicide rates and concerns about police accountability have turned law enforcement into a political lightning rod. The next governor will have to navigate a public demanding both safety and reform, without alienating either side.
On top of that, New Mexico has to compete for talent and investment. With neighboring states like Texas and Arizona making aggressive economic moves, New Mexico’s leadership needs to be sharp, strategic, and forward-looking. Whether it’s attracting new businesses, supporting small and rural communities, or upgrading infrastructure, the governor’s agenda will shape whether New Mexico can turn its potential into real progress.
In short, this race isn’t just about red versus blue or personalities versus platforms. It’s about leadership that can cut through stagnation and take bold, clear-eyed action. The stakes are real, and every New Mexican will feel the consequences of who wins and how they govern.
So, do we keep going in the same direction as we have in the past, or do we choose a new path and find a leader who can lift New Mexico out of last place in nearly every category? There is only one man this reporter believes can bring real change to the great state of New Mexico, and that man is Gregg Hull.
If we look at what Deb Haaland has accomplished, the answer, in my opinion, is very little, aside from being a symbolic D.E.I. hire, as President O'Biden himself implied.
This is the most important race in New Mexico’s history.
