Former Interior Secretary Deb Haaland is rumored to be announcing her run for governor of New Mexico in the coming weeks. Although she has not made an official announcement yet, Haaland has begun assembling a campaign team, including Scott Forrester, to lead her efforts. Speculation about Haaland’s run began after the November 5th election, with her team confirming that a formal announcement is forthcoming.
Haaland, who previously served as the U.S. Rep. for New Mexico’s 1st Congressional District before becoming Interior Secretary under President Joe Biden, is touted as a proven leader with a focus on job creation and community needs. Other rumored contenders for the governorship include Democrat Sam Bregman, the Bernalillo County District Attorney, and Republican Gregg Hull, the Mayor of Rio Rancho.
The decision by U.S. Senator Martin Heinrich not to run for governor has left the field open for potential candidates like Haaland. Although Heinrich considered a run, he ultimately decided that his voice was needed in Washington. Haaland’s team is gearing up for her potential gubernatorial campaign, emphasizing her leadership and ability to bring people together.
As Haaland prepares to make her formal announcement, the race for governor in New Mexico is heating up with several potential candidates from both parties considering entering the race. Stay tuned for further updates on Deb Haaland’s bid for governor.
