Race notes
Running mates (joint tickets): Deb Haaland / Stephanie Garcia Richard (D); Gregg Hull / David Gallegos (R). The Democratic LG slot changed after the primary: Maggie Toulouse Oliver won the June 2 LG primary (80.0%), withdrew June 18 citing health reasons, and the Democratic State Central Committee chose Stephanie Garcia Richard on July 30 — any note naming Toulouse Oliver as Haaland's running mate is stale. No third ticket is on the ballot.
