Political Landscape of New Mexico
Partisan Composition of New Mexico
Overall, New Mexico is considered a blue state, with a Cook PVI of D+3 as of 2022, regularly voting 50-55% Democrat in statewide races. New Mexico's governor, US Senators and all three US House representatives are all Democrats. Democrats also have majorities in the state house (45-25) and state senate (27-15) as of 2/8/24, giving Democrats a trifecta.
Progressive Outlook for New Mexico
The overall progressive strategy for New Mexico is optimistic. Though citizens may only veto, the state is overall blue and progressives can achieve priorities here on the state's lagging quality of life indicators. The goal for 2024 should revolve around keeping New Mexico blue on the federal level, as two of their house districts are swing districts. As New Mexico is a closed primary state, it is recommended to register Democrat so you can vote for progressive candidates in the primary.
