JUNE 2, 2026, NEW MEXICO – Senator Ben Ray Luján on Tuesday secured the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate in New Mexico, winning the primary election and earning a place on the November ballot as the Democratic nominee.
“I am deeply honored to have earned the support of Democrats across New Mexico. New Mexico families deserve someone who will fight for them every single day, and that is exactly what I will continue doing in the United States Senate.
“The energy traveling across our beautiful state has been incredible. In every corner of New Mexico, Democrats are organizing, showing up, and standing together. When New Mexicans come together, we fight hard, and we win.
“In the Senate, I will keep fighting to lower costs, protect access to health care, help families put food on the table, and ensure New Mexico’s kids can grow up in safe, strong communities. I will continue standing up to the Trump administration’s cruel agenda and working to make sure federal investments reach every corner of our state.
“To every New Mexican who voted, volunteered, and believed in the work we are doing: thank you. I do not take your trust lightly. Between now and November, I will keep working every day to continue to earn that trust, elect Democrats up and down the ballot, and deliver real results for New Mexico.”
