Former interior secretary Deb Haaland won the Democratic nomination for governor in New Mexico on Tuesday, beating Albuquerque-area prosecutor Sam Bregman.
A former congresswoman who served in President Joe Biden‘s Cabinet, Haaland could be the first Native American woman governor and is favored to win her blue-leaning state in November. She faces Republican Greggory Hull, a former Rio Rancho mayor who won in a three-way primary.
