Candidate briefing
Stephanie Garcia Richard is the Democratic nominee for Lieutenant Governor of New Mexico—selected by the State Central Committee on July 30 after Maggie Toulouse Oliver withdrew, and backed by gubernatorial nominee Deb Haaland. She faces Republican Sen. David Gallegos on November 3 on the Haaland ticket. Progressives should support this statewide ticket and retire the outdated Public Lands 2022 framing.
