    With Michelle Lujan Grisham being termed-limited, two candidates are vying to be the next governor of New Mexico. Republican Gregg Hull was mayor of Rio Rancho for 12 years. He tells KUNM that sets him up well to lead the state, especially since he focused on building up the city’s water infrastructure. Hull says he wants to use the state’s robust revenues to address water issues around New Mexico.

    For the first time in 8 years, New Mexicans will be choosing a new governor on November 3rd. Former U.S. Secretary of the Interior, Deb Haaland from Laguna Pueblo served in the U.S. Congress and then as Interior Secretary. She told KUNM she would continue to support public education through the state’s oil and gas revenue.
