Deb Haaland, who is running for governor of New Mexico, issued a statement following the results of the Albuquerque runoff election. In her remarks, Haaland emphasized the unity among New Mexicans and addressed concerns about political direction in the city.
“Tonight’s election results show that New Mexicans stand up for each other and will not entertain a MAGA sympathizer to take the largest city in New Mexico backward. There are challenges ahead for Albuquerque and our state, but our communities can tackle them together and build a future in which life is affordable, health care is accessible, education delivers for our kids, and our neighborhoods are safe. Congratulations to all of tonight’s newly elected and re-elected public servants,” Haaland stated.
The statement reflects ongoing discussions about affordability, healthcare access, educational outcomes, and public safety in Albuquerque as local leaders prepare to address these issues with newly elected officials.
