General Election Race For Governor Under Way&苍产蝉辫;鈥�&苍产蝉辫;The Associated Press
Democratic Attorney General Gary King has cleared the first hurdle in his underdog bid to become governor, toppling four opponents in a lackluster primary race. His next challenge will be much more formidable.
King faces Republican Gov. Susana Martinez in the November general election and is at a decided disadvantage.
Martinez has aired television campaign ads for weeks and has more than $4 million in the bank that she built up as a national political star. She's the nation's first female Hispanic governor.
In other races Tuesday, retired Marine Col. Allen Weh easily defeated his GOP challenger to win the Republican primary and run against first-term Sen. Tom Udall.
The Democratic senator is heavily favored to win, but Weh said he believes the tide is turning against Washington politicians like Udall.
Voters To Decide 18 Contested Legislative Races&苍产蝉辫;鈥�&苍产蝉辫;The Associated Press
Voters in New Mexico's primary election set the stage for a political struggle later this year over whether Republicans can win control of the state House for the first time in decades.
There are 18 contested House races on Tuesday's primary ballot, including seven with incumbent lawmakers 鈥� five Democrats and two Republicans.
All 70 House seats are up for election this year, but 25 incumbents are unopposed.
Democrats hold a 37-33 advantage in the House, but Republicans are trying to pick up enough seats in the November general election to claim their first majority in 60 years.
Republicans hope their candidates will receive a boost this fall by having popular Republican Gov. Susana Martinez on the ballot to potentially increase turnout among GOP-leaning voters.
Eichenberg Beats Wertheim In Heated Treasurer Race&苍产蝉辫;鈥�&苍产蝉辫;The Associated Press
Former state Sen. Tim Eichenberg has won the heated Democratic race for New Mexico treasurer.
Unofficial results show Eichenberg defeated former state Democratic Party Chairman John Wertheim with 53 percent of the vote.
The race has been among the most contentious this primary, prompting a call from Democratic Party Chairman Sam Bregman to tone things down.
The winner faces Republican Rick Lopez in November.
During the campaign, Wertheim ran ads accusing Eichenberg of discriminating against Latinos, women and gays with votes in the Senate and as Bernalillo County treasurer.
Eichenberg called those attacks a "smear," and he said his opponent doesn't have the experience for the job.
