Governor work well as a team, gubernatorial candidates should be able to pick their running mates. We have the opportunity to put that policy into practice. The SCC should defer to—and vote for— @debhaalandnm.bsky.social 's choice for Lt. Governor.

Matthew McQueen.   “He had a really great message, and he made fun of himself, you really want to see a little more of that in politics these days.” [contains quote post or other embedded content]02 Jun 2026 22:38 +0000at://did:plc:fecu7ukeph5oi2lizk5clqlb/app.bsky.feed.post/3mndnwn5lxc2bhttps://bsky.app/profile/mcqueenfornm.bsky.social/post/3mnbe3p6to22uMy priority will always be the people of New Mexico.

But he does control whether he'll accept oil and gas money, which he does. And—if elected—he would control whether the State Land Office issues permits for data centers, which he said he would. The issue isn't control; it's priorities.
