Gregg Hull maintains a commanding position in the New Mexico Republican primary for governor due to his record as Rio Rancho mayor and consistent polling leads ahead of the June 2 contest. Recent campaign events, including an Albuquerque Journal debate in mid-May, showcased Hull emphasizing local government experience on issues like crime, taxes, and education, while opponents Duke Rodriguez and Doug Turner highlighted their own backgrounds in state service and business. Polls indicate a sizable share of Republican voters remain undecided, yet Hull’s early delegate support at the state party convention and steady fundraising have reinforced his frontrunner status among traders assessing primary dynamics in a state without a Republican governor since 2018.
