New Mexico Election Results

New Mexico Election Results

New Mexico has not voted for a Republican for president since 2004, and President Trump did not break that pattern in 2020: Joseph R. Biden won the state. Read more

Representative Ben Ray Luján, a Democrat, beat his Republican competitor, Mark Ronchetti, a former TV meteorologist, to fill the seat of Senator Tom Udall, who is retiring. Mr. Luján’s move left open his seat in the Third Congressional District, and Teresa Leger Fernandez, a Democrat and lawyer who beat the former C.I.A. officer Valerie Plame and others in the Democratic primary, carried the district, which includes its capital, Santa Fe.

In another prominent political race, a rematch in the Second Congressional District, Xochitl Torres Small, a Democrat, lost to Yvette Herrell, a Republican. — HANK STEPHENSON Read less

Key Races

2nd District › WinnerHerrell +7
Two years ago, Yvette Herrell, a Republican, declared victory on election night only to have Xochitl Torres Small, a Democrat, eventually be declared the victor by just over 3,700 votes. This year, Ms. Herrell is running again in the traditionally Republican district, implying in ads that the Democrats stole the seat with fraudulent ballots (election officials call those claims false) and highlighting her allegiance to the president in a race that polling suggests is a tossup.
