Deb Haaland could make history as the first female Native American governor if she\u2019s elected.<\/strong><\/p>\n

New Mexico\u2019s race for governor headlines the state\u2019s primary contest on Tuesday, with former congresswoman and interior secretary Deb Haaland facing Albuquerque-area prosecutor Sam Bregman for the Democratic nomination in this blue-leaning state.<\/p>\n

One of the country\u2019s poorest states, New Mexico has created ambitious programs financed by its fossil fuel resources, including a first-in-the-nation<\/a> universal child care program for working families that the next governor would oversee when term-limited Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham (D) leaves office.<\/p>\n

New Mexico exports more oil than any state besides Texas, and leaders used its vast oil and natural gas resources to finance a safety net program that helps pay for universal child care, health care, school lunches and free college.<\/p>\n

As the war with Iran wages, New Mexico has reaped a windfall from rising oil prices<\/a>, making it the rare Democratic-led state underwritten by fossil fuels.<\/p>\n

It\u2019ll be up to the next governor to help manage that boon. New Mexico has elected both Republicans and Democrats as state leaders over the last generation, but has trended toward Democrats in recent elections.<\/p>\n

A victory by Haaland could eventually notch another first into her resume: she\u2019d be the first female Native American elected governor.<\/p>\n

A member of the Laguna Puebla tribe, she was the first Native American to serve in a presidential Cabinet when she became secretary of the interior under President Joe Biden.<\/p>\n

She was also one of the first two Native American women elected to Congress when she won an Albuquerque-area seat in 2018, a win that followed her rebuilding work as the state Democratic Party chair. Through her Native American roots on her mother\u2019s side, she self-identifies as a 35th-generation New Mexican.<\/p>\n

Haaland has consistently led Bregman, the Bernalillo County district attorney and a former city councilman, in polling and has higher name recognition statewide.<\/p>\n

Bregman\u2019s campaign leaned into<\/a> his law enforcement background and emphasized reducing violent crime and addressing the fentanyl crisis in what was widely considered a more moderate brand. He also pitched ways to reduce housing and health care costs.<\/p>\n

Haaland focused on education and affordability and occupied a more progressive lane, though she also rolled out a public safety plan.<\/p>\n

Haaland is one of two Biden Cabinet members competing in a governor\u2019s primary race Tuesday. Xavier Becerra, a former health secretary, has been leading in California polls in the open primary race where candidates of all parties run on one ballot and the top two advance to the general election.<\/p>\n

New Mexico Republicans held a three-way primary race for governor among former Rio Rancho mayor Gregg Hull<\/a>, small-business owner Doug Turner<\/a> and Duke Rodriguez<\/a>, CEO of New Mexico\u2019s largest cannabis company.<\/p>\n
