Gregory G Cunningham

Gregory G. Cunningham is a retired Albuquerque police detective and Marine combat veteran. A "very conservative" Republican, he is preparing to challenge incumbent Democratic U.S. Rep. Gabe Vasquez for New Mexico’s 2nd Congressional District in 2026. Cunningham previously ran unsuccessfully for state House District 29 multiple times. He states his motivation stems from his concern over New Mexico's struggles with poverty, a broken education system, and crime. He believes "far left Democrats" are failing the state and seeks to offer "real solutions" and a "positive vision." He has been described as a bipartisan listener who aims to serve his communities.
