Historical elections summary In 2018, Ben Ray Luján was handily elected to a fifth term in the 3rd district and Deb Haaland was elected in the 1st district to fill the seat vacated by Michelle Lujan Grisham when she became governor. The sole Republican representative, from the 2nd District, Steve Pearce retired and was replaced in a highly competitive race by Xochitl Torres Small, a Democrat, leaving the entire state congressional delegation under Democratic control. In 2020, Representative Xochitl Torres Small was defeated in her bid for re-election by Republican candidate Yvette Herrell, in a rematch of the 2018 election. Deb Haaland successfully defended her seat against a challenge from perennial Republican candidate Michelle Garcia Holmes. Additionally, Representative Ben Ray Luján stepped down from his seat in the 3rd district, in order to run for New Mexico's open Senate seat, which was made vacant by Senator Tom Udall's retirement. Representative Luján won Senator Udall's open senate seat, and Democratic candidate Teresa Leger Fernandez won Representative Luján's open seat over Republican challenger Alexis Martinez Johnson. Following the 2020 election, New Mexico was the first state to send multiple Native American women as part of their congressional delegation, as Representative Herrell was a member of the Cherokee Nation, and Representative Haaland was a member of the Laguna Pueblo. This made New Mexico one of two states to have multiple Native American representatives, along with Oklahoma. Melanie Ann Stansbury was elected in a special election in 2021 when Deb Haaland resigned to become Secretary of the Interior. In 2022, Democrats Melanie Ann Stansbury in the 1st and Teresa Leger Fernandez in the 3rd handily won re-election. In the competitive 2nd district Gabriel "Gabe" Vasquez eked out a win over Republican incumbent Yvette Herrell. Historical and present district boundaries Until the 1968 elections, New Mexico's representatives were all elected at-large statewide. Starting in 1968, however, they were elected by districts. For
