New Mexico’s primary season is gearing up with candidates aiming to win party nominations in the June 7 elections.
New Mexico In Depth hopes to “follow the message” in the 26 legislative and one congressional primary.
And we need your help.
Do you live in any of the districts with primary races? Are you getting campaign mailers or phone calls or seeing digital ads or hearing radio ads?
Share them with New Mexico In Depth by emailing fish@nmindepth.
These messages give an idea of the tone of a race, as well as the potential outside groups taking part in the election. (Consider the super PAC mailers in the Las Cruces mayoral race last fall, for example.)
We’ll collect the messages, analyze them and share the stories with you.
Below is a list of candidates running in primaries for state House, Senate and the 3rd Congressional District. Check it out and share the campaign info you receive.
