Gregg Hull leads the Republican primary for New Mexico governor, scheduled for June 2, because recent polling shows him ahead among likely voters, driven by his twelve-year record as Rio Rancho mayor where the city added population and jobs while the state overall lost residents. The three-way contest features Hull, former cabinet secretary and cannabis executive Duke Rodriguez, and public relations executive Doug Turner, with polls indicating a large share of Republican and independent voters remain undecided even weeks before the ballot. Hull’s strong delegate performance at the state party convention and emphasis on business-friendly policies have reinforced trader consensus on his frontrunner position, though the compressed timeline and undecided bloc leave room for shifts from late-campaign events or turnout patterns.
