The House:...
- New Mexico's 1st congressional district: The 2006 race between incumbent Republican Heather Wilson and Democratic state Attorney General Patricia Madrid was a cliffhanger, with Wilson being reelected by 861 votes. John Kerry narrowly won this Albuquerque-based district with 52% in 2004 (CPVI=D+2). With the retirement of longtime U.S. Senator Pete Domenici, Wilson is now a candidate for the U.S. Senate.[113] The Democratic nominee is Martin Heinrich (Albuquerque City Councilor). The Republican nominee is Bernalillo County Sheriff Darren White.[114]
- 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 race to fill Udall's House seat could become competitive under certain circumstances, but the Democrats would have the advantage: John Kerry won 54% here (CPVI=D+6). 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]
