The House:...

  • New Mexico's 2nd congressional district: Republican incumbent Steve Pearce has announced his candidacy for the U.S. Senate.[115] This district, covering roughly southeastern New Mexico, is usually Republican-voting, but Democrats sometimes win elections here. The Democratic nominee is Hobbs businessman, civic leader, and former Lea County Commissioner Harry Teague. Bush won here with 58% to 42% for John Kerry in 2004 (CPVI=R+6). The Republican nominee is restaurateur Ed Tinsley,[116].
  • New Mexico's 3rd congressional district: Democratic incumbent Tom Udall has announced he is running for Pete Domenici's open Senate seat,[117] despite earlier ruling it out.

The Democratic nominee is State Public Regulation Commissioner Ben R. Lujan. Lujan's father serves as Speaker of the state House of Representatives. The Republican nominee is small business owner Dan East. Carol Miller a 1997/1998 Green Party candidate is seeking the seat as an independent.[118]
