Severe flooding shuts down all roads in and out of Roswell, New Mexico

ROSWELL, New Mexico (KVIA) — Roswell experienced severe flooding early Sunday morning after a storm system moved through the region Saturday night.

An image taken early Sunday courtesy of the city’s live cameras showed several inches flooding the streets of Downtown Roswell. Much of that flooding has since cleared, although roads still appear to be slick.

New Mexico State Police posted on X around 1:40 a.m. that “All roads in and out of Roswell, NM are closed due to heavy flooding, at this time.”

The NM Roads website shows roads remain closed off. We will update you when they reopen.

Fourth Republican candidate announces bid for New Mexico governor

SANTA FE, N.M. — Former New Mexico Public Regulation Commissioner Jim Ellison is running for governor as a Republican, he announced on social media Tuesday.

Ellison is running on affordability, opportunity and trust in government as the key points of his campaign. His experience includes serving on the NMPRC in 2023 and 2024.

“New Mexico deserves leadership that listens, acts, and delivers results. Our state has enormous potential, but too often that potential is held back by policies that don’t serve everyday New Mexicans,” he said on his website. “I’m running to bring practical solutions, honest accountability, and a renewed focus on the public interest.”

A Georgia native, Ellison has lived in New Mexico for 20 years and currently lives in the Albuquerque area with his wife and two children.

Ellison is aiming to get 5,000 signatures by Feb. 2, to appear on the primary ballot with at least three other Republicans who have announced their candidacy.

Ultra Health CEO Duke Rodriguez announced his campaign in December and recently confirmed to KOB 4 that he received enough signatures to appear on the primary ballot. Rio Rancho Mayor Gregg Hull and New Mexico State Sen. Steve Lanier are also running.

Three Democrats are running – Bernalillo County District Attorney Sam Bregman, Former Interior Secretary Deb Haaland and Former Las Cruces Mayor Ken Miyagishima.
