Former Interior Secretary Deb Haaland has won the Democratic nomination for governor of New Mexico, according to projections from multiple news outlets.
NBC News projected Haaland as the winner of the Democratic primary in New Mexico's gubernatorial race. Decision Desk HQ also projected that Haaland would win the Democratic primary to succeed Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham.
Haaland, a Democrat, secured the Democratic nomination on Tuesday. She defeated Sam Bregman, the district attorney, in the primary contest.
Haaland previously served as Interior Secretary during the Biden administration. She had held the position of Interior Secretary before launching her campaign for governor.
The race will determine who succeeds current Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham as the next governor of New Mexico. Haaland now advances as the Democratic nominee to the general election.
No right-leaning sources provided additional factual claims beyond those reported by center and left-leaning outlets. The Washington Examiner confirmed Haaland's victory and identified her opponent as Sam Bregman, the district attorney.
