The strongest case for each side
For every race, the best honest argument for each candidate and the case against. Equal space, no endorsement.
The 57% rule, explained
Judges facing retention in New Mexico need at least 57% yes, not a simple majority. We explain what that means for each of the three retention votes.
Which judicial choices are which
One Court of Appeals seat is a candidate election; another is a separate yes-or-no retention question. We make the difference impossible to miss.
Sourced and dated

Six executive races, two Supreme Court retention votes, and two Court of Appeals decisions.

Gregg Hull against Deb Haaland: a change in state management, or continued investment in childcare and schools.
Secretary of State
More verification and voter-roll review, or an election administrator focused on access and trust.
Attorney General
An incumbent's child-safety and consumer work against a constitutional-conservative challenger.
State Auditor
An outsider's scrutiny of spending, or continuity from the incumbent fraud examiner.
State Treasurer
Investment credentials against treasury experience, and how to prove sound performance.

The trust land that funds schools and hospitals: how it earns revenue and how it's protected.
Supreme Court

Court of Appeals
One candidate election and one separate retention question. They are not running against each other.
