Candidates running for the New Mexico Legislature — both the State House of Representatives and the State Senate — have filed their paperwork to be on the ballot for the primaries on June 4.
There are a lot of familiar faces — including long-time senator Linda Lopez who is facing Democratic challenger Richard Carrion — as well as some first-timers to the statewide race. Newly initiated Republican Manuel “Manny” Gonzales III will face off against Republican Terry Lynne Aragon in the primaries ahead of a general election against Democratic State Representative Harold James Pope, Jr.
Gonzales’ former undersheriff Rudy Mora has entered the fray as well and will run against Marie Valencia in the Republican primaries for the chance to challenge Democratic State Senator Katy Duhigg in the general election.
Sarah Jane Allen, the co-founder of the local chapter of the controversial conservative group Moms for Liberty, will face two other Republicans — Patrick Huested and Nicole Chavez — in the primaries for retiring State Representative Bill Rehm’s seat.
