State Senator Nicholas Paul has announced his resignation from the New Mexico State Senate, effective October 14, 2025. Representing District 33, Paul cited health concerns and the need to focus on family as reasons for stepping down.
In a statement, Senator Paul expressed gratitude to the citizens of Otero, Lincoln, and Chaves Counties for their support. "Serving the people of District 33 has been one of the greatest honors of my life," he said. He also emphasized his commitment to the district's success and confidence in its future under local leadership.
Paul, a Republican, was elected in 2025 to replace former state senator Bill Burt in representing New Mexico's 33rd Senate district. He thanked his colleagues, staff, and constituents for their encouragement during his tenure.
The process to select a new State Senator for District 33 will be updated as it unfolds.
