Former Rio Rancho Mayor Gregg Hull holds a commanding position in the June 2 Republican primary for New Mexico governor, backed by his strong showings in recent polls from Research & Polling and Emerson College that place him well ahead of Duke Rodriguez and Doug Turner among decided voters. Hull’s lengthy executive experience as mayor, fundraising edge, and support from party delegates at the pre-primary convention have solidified trader consensus around his nomination prospects. Rodriguez, a cannabis executive and former cabinet secretary, has attempted to close the gap through substantial self-funding to increase visibility ahead of the primary, while Turner has focused on communications and policy outreach. With roughly 40 percent of Republican and independent voters still undecided in the latest surveys, the race remains open to shifts driven by final-week campaigning and turnout in the June contest.
