The2018 New Mexico gubernatorial election took place on November 6, 2018, to elect the nextgovernor of New Mexico , concurrently with theelection ofNew Mexico 'sClass I U.S. Senate seat , as well asother elections to theUnited States Senate in other states,elections to theUnited States House of Representatives and variouslocal elections . This was one of eight Republican-held governorships up for election in a state carried byHillary Clinton in the2016 presidential election .
IncumbentRepublican governorSusana Martinez was term-limited and could not seek a third consecutive term. Following party primaries on June 5, 2018,U.S. Representative Steve Pearce was the Republican nominee and U.S. RepresentativeMichelle Lujan Grisham was the Democratic nominee. Lujan Grisham won the election by a substantial margin, which in fact was a complete and exact reversal of the2014 gubernatorial results. Her win also signaled a continuation of the pattern of the partisanship of the office changing every two terms, beginning withGary Johnson's first election in1994 . Furthermore, the pattern of the partisanship changing with each officeholder was continued, a pattern first started afterToney Anaya left office in 1987. Furthermore, the margin between the candidates (57.2% to 42.8%) was the same asthe previous election , albeit with the parties switched.
At the presidential level, New Mexico has begun to trend into a Democratic-leaning swing state. It has gone Democratic in all but one presidential election since 1992. The only break in this trend came in 2004, whenGeorge W. Bush won it by less than a point. However, in 2008,Barack Obama won the state overJohn McCain by 15 points and in 2012 by 10 points overMitt Romney . In 2016, DemocratHillary Clinton defeated RepublicanDonald Trump by eight points.
However, in 2010, then-District Attorney of New Mexico's Third Judicial DistrictSusana Martinez won the election, becoming the first US Latina Governor, over Lieutenant GovernorDiane Denish , former running mate of two-term DemocratBill Richardson , by approximately seven points. In 2014, Martinez was re-elected over state Attorney GeneralGary King by nearly 15 points. It has been described as one of the Democrats' best chances at a pickup, due to Gov. Martinez's unpopularity and because "she's leaving behind a high unemployment rate and struggling education system."[ 1]
The 2018 primary election results show 116,311 votes for Democratic candidateMichelle Lujan Grisham and a total of 175,182 for all three Democratic candidates while Republican candidate/nomineeSteve Pearce received 74,705; note that 23% of New Mexico's registered voters are third party or independents (280,000), who do not vote in the primary election.
