PARTY HOLDS WILDLY SUCCESSFUL STATE PRE-PRIMARY CONVENTION AS VOTERS SELECT PRIMARY ELECTION SLATE OF FEDERAL CANDIDATES
More than 800 Republicans from around New Mexico arrived in Albuquerque this past weekend to attend the State Pre-Primary Convention. Delegates had been elected from their counties to attend the Convention, and they selected federal and statewide candidates for New Mexico's June 2 Primary Election. The votes capped an exciting State Pre-Primary Convention steered by Convention Chair and former Party Chair John Billingsley and current Party Chair Steve Pearce. The Convention included speeches by all 16 candidates seeking the open U.S. Senate and three Congressional District seats.
Voters decided that two candidates from each federal race will be on the Republican Primary slate.
In the U.S. Senate race, Elisa Martinez received the most votes and will be in the top ballot position. Mark Ronchetti will also be on the ballot.
In the 1st Congressional District race, Michelle Garcia Holmes got the most votes and will top the ballot position. She'll be on the ballot with Jared Vander Dussen.
In the 2nd Congressional District race, Yvette Herrell came in first followed by Claire Chase.
In the 3rd Congressional District race, Harry Montoya will take the top ballot spot. Karen Bedonie will also be on the ballot.
To get on the Primary Ballot, candidates must receive 20% of the vote. If they receive less, they may elect to get signatures to try to qualify to get on the Primary ballot.
"This has been a magnificent Convention," said Republican Party of New Mexico Chairman Steve Pearce. "Enthusiasm is sky-high in our Party. We are on a mission to turn New Mexico red this fall, and there's lots of excitement, strength and unity in our Party right now. It's thrilling. Our selected candidates for federal offices are highly qualified, diverse and adhere to conservative principles. There's a real energy among Republicans right now all over New Mexico."
