First All-Female New Mexico Ticket | Santa Fe News
Description
New Mexico Democrats have chosen Stephanie Garcia Richard as their lieutenant governor, making her Deb Haaland’s running mate — the first all-female ticket in state history. After a heated internal race, Garcia Richard won 53% of the vote (255) over Harold Pope’s 46% (218), with the final vote tallied electronically by the State Central Committee. Though Haaland had backed Garcia Richard early, the pick stirred tension among progressives. With November elections looming, the duo now unite to tackle key issues: lowering costs, expanding healthcare, and boosting education — all while racing against the clock to fundraise and mobilize voters across every statewide race, including three congressional seats and a U.S. Senate bid.
