Former Interior Secretary Deb Haaland won the Democratic nomination for governor of New Mexico. If she wins, she'll be the indigenous woman to head the state.

I made this portrait of Haaland in 2021, after she was confirmed as the first Native American to serve as the director of the Interior Department.

Jeff Colyer Ends 2026 GOP Governor Campaign After Trump Endorses Ty Masterson

Former Kansas Governor Jeff Colyer officially ended his campaign for the Republican nomination for the 2026 gubernatorial race following President Donald Trump's endorsement of his rival, Senate President Ty Masterson. Colyer, who briefly served as governor after Sam Brownback’s resignation in 2018 and withdrew from the 2022 race for health reasons, stated that he would continue public service but would not seek the governorship in 2026. Masterson, endorsed by Trump on April 24, highlighted that the endorsement allowed him to choose a running mate, Lansing State Senator Jeff Klemp, based on qualifications rather than demographics. Other GOP candidates include Insurance Commissioner Vicki Schmidt with running mate Joe Newland, businessman Philip Sarnecki with Joy Eakins, marijuana activist Nick Reinecker with his wife Katy, Charlotte O’Hara with Michael Smith, and Stacy Rogers with Michelle Dombrosky. Candidates emphasized issues ranging from fiscal responsibility and property tax reform to political accountability and leadership for Kansans. The August primary will determine the GOP nominee for the November general election against incumbent Democratic Governor Laura Kelly. Colyer expressed gratitude to supporters and campaign staff, noting that the campaign was about advancing Kansas’ potential rather than personal ambition.
