Could New Mexico launch its own 2028 contender?
An early Democratic primary could elevate New Mexico’s influence — and its political leaders’ national prospects. New Mexico is set to hold the fourth Democratic presidential primary contest in 2028, pending legislation to make the date official. This could elevate New Mexico leaders such as Martin Heinrich, Ben Ray Luján and Michelle Lujan Grisham onto the national stage. However, Heinrich has stated he has no intention of running, but hopes to use his position to educate voters about issues important to New Mexicans such as immigration, water, public lands, tribal sovereignty and the economy. Lujan Gisham, whose term limits will end this year, has worked to elevate New New Mexico's role in the Democratic nomination process and establish herself in national discussions about the party's future.
