New Mexico 2026 Senate Race Excludes Republican Candidates
New Mexico’s November 2026 general election will see no Republican candidates on the Senate ballot. This follows the disqualification of Republican Christopher Vanden Heuvel by Secretary of State Maggie Toulouse Oliver for insufficient qualified voter signatures. This ruling effectively eliminates the entire Republican field from the primary and marks an unprecedented absence of a Republican Senate contender in the state’s modern history.
