Elections

[edit]

Republicans held onto the seat in 1920 by nominatingNéstor Montoya, the county clerk ofBernalillo County and former Speaker of theNew Mexico Territorial Legislature. Montoya won with a combination of Hispanic voters and coat-tails from the election of PresidentWarren Harding. Republicans did not renominate him in 1922, choosing instead suffragistAdelina Otero-Warren, the niece of former territorialGovernor,Miguel Otero, and the first woman to run for statewide office in New Mexico. Otero-Warren was defeated by DemocratJohn Morrow, an educator and lawyer from northeast New Mexico. Morrow would win consecutive re-elections in 1924 and 1926, but lost re-election in 1928 toAlbert G. Simms, anAlbuquerque businessman, on the coat-tails of the election of PresidentHerbert Hoover.
