§2Who they are
Why this matters: Background and experience help you judge how someone might do the job. These come from public records and the candidate's own materials.
Drafted by AI from the public sources cited. Each sentence links to its source.
Gregg Hull has lived in New Mexico for more than 40 years, with Rio Rancho at the center of his personal and working life, and he and his wife raised their five children in the state.2 Before entering public office, he started and ran two businesses over more than a decade.2 He was first elected mayor of Rio Rancho in April 2014 and was re-elected in March 2018 and March 2022; his campaign website says he is the city's longest-serving mayor.2
Why they say they're running
His campaign website says he and his running mate are running to build a state government that listens and works for every community, and that he wants to bring to the whole state the results it describes from his time as Rio Rancho's mayor on public safety, the economy and infrastructure.3

§3What they've said on the issues
Why this matters: These are positions the candidate has stated publicly — on their campaign website or in public statements — summarized in plain words with a link to where they said it. Issues they haven't spoken about publicly are left out.
Drafted by AI from the public sources cited. Each sentence links to its source.
Each issue has its own range of views. A position is marked on that range only when the candidate's own statement clearly matches one option; there is no overall left–right score.
Taxes and Budget
His campaign website proposes phasing out New Mexico's tax on eligible personal income in four conditional steps, each requiring legislative approval and protected funding for schools, health care and public safety, starting with the first $25,000 of taxable income for single filers and $50,000 for married couples filing jointly, while net business profits would stay taxable.4,
- Add or raise taxes on the highest incomes (for example, a tax on income over $1 million)
- Keep current rates
- Cut rates or move to a single flat rate
- Phase out the state income tax
Social Security and Medicare
His campaign website says that if the full income tax plan does not pass the Legislature, he would seek to end the remaining state income tax on Social Security benefits, pension and retirement pay, and military retirement pay.4
Crime, Policing and Prisons
His campaign website says he would push for long-term funding to make police pay competitive with neighboring states, expand grants that help cities and counties hire officers, and increase police presence across the state.5,
- Increase police funding, for example to hire more officers
- Keep funding near current levels
- Shift some police funding to mental health, housing or other services
Guns
His campaign website says any red flag process for temporarily removing a person's guns must include strong court oversight, clear legal standards, fair hearings and review by a judge.7
Elections and Government Reform
Energy and Climate
His campaign website says the state should carry out the Energy Transition Act carefully rather than quickly, starting with an independent review of grid reliability, and should add nuclear and other steady power sources to the law's framework.9,
His campaign website supports adding small modular reactors and other advanced nuclear technologies to New Mexico's long-term energy planning.10
Environment and Public Lands
His campaign website supports more mechanical thinning, targeted tree removal and planned prescribed burns, and closer work with federal agencies, tribes and local governments to move fuel-reduction projects forward faster.11
Technology, Privacy and AI
His campaign website says New Mexico's AI rules should be targeted at government use and clear consumer risks rather than broad mandates, with transparency standards when the state uses AI in decisions about benefits or services.12
- Require government testing or licenses for the most powerful AI systems before they are released
- Set rules for specific risks and uses, such as deepfakes, hiring decisions and safety disclosures
- Rely mainly on existing laws, without new rules written for AI
Education
His campaign website says he would tie a portion of school funding to measurable gains in reading, math and graduation rates.15
§4Money
Why this matters: Campaigns report where their money comes from and how much they have left.
Candidates for governor file campaign-finance reports with the state, not the FEC, so this guide doesn't include their fundraising. Search the state's reports: Campaign Finance Information System (CFIS) — New Mexico Secretary of State.16
