See who is running for NM Senate in first election since redistricting shake-up • Source New Mexico
Last week, 82 candidates signed up to vie for a New Mexico Senate seat for the first statewide election since redistricting scrambled the Legislature’s district maps two years ago.
The once-a-decade redistricting process created two new open Senate seats, and several incumbents chose not to seek re-election. Eight of the 42 Senate districts have no incumbents running.
Moving around district boundaries also changed the party makeup of some districts, according to a Source New Mexico analysis of Secretary of State and legislative data. Some of those changes were significant; in four districts, the share of registered Democratic or Republican voters increased by more than 5% after redistricting.
The biggest partisan shift was in District 12, which outgoing Sen. Gerald Ortiz y Pino, a Democrat, held for 20 years. The district that was once in the heart of Albuquerque shifted north to include parts of West Side and Rio Rancho.
In December 2021, as lawmakers were debating the new Senate boundaries, 59% of District 12 residents were Democrats. Republicans comprised less than 14% of registered voters. Now, after redistricting, it’s 38% Democrats and 37% Republicans.
Republicans Jay Block and Candace Thompson Gould are running for the new Senate District 23 seat, along with Democrat Phillip Ramirez.
At the moment, Democrats have 27 seats in the Senate, and Republicans have 15.
Changes to Senate district maps were also a factor in the resignation of a Republican party leader.
Redistricting shifted the boundaries of District 29, currently represented by Sen. Greg Baca (R-Belen) to include the Veguita home of Sen. Josh Sanchez, who represents District 30.
Instead of “allow(ing) the radical left to pit brother against brother,” Baca said in a statement, he opted not to run for re-election and encouraged his supporters to vote for Sanchez..

The Nevada women’s basketball team dropped its final home contest of the 2025-26 season on Saturday with New Mexico spoiling Senior Day and pushing past the Wolf Pack for a 63-56 win.
The Wolf Pack led 36-34 at halftime behind a hot-shooting start. Skylar Durley, Imbie Jones and Ahrray Young each had six points as Nevada shot 14-of-25 from the field (56%). But things cooled off in the second half, with the Lobos outscoring the Wolf Pack 19-13 in the third quarter to take a four-point lead into the fourth. Nevada’s shooting woes only worsened in the final period when it made just three field goals, including none in the final four minutes.
Durley led Nevada with 16 points and six rebounds. Young finished with 10 points, three rebounds and three assists. The Wolf Pack made just one three-pointer out of its nine attempts.
The loss drops Nevada to 9-20 overall, 5-14 within the Mountain West Conference. The Wolf Pack now heads to Utah State for Tuesday’s regular-season finale before opening the Mountain West Tournament play next Saturday in Las Vegas.
