Larry E. Marker, also known as Lead, is the Republican nominee for the U.S. Senate representing New Mexico in 2026. Hailing from Hobbs and Roswell, Marker has a diverse professional background spanning oil and gas production, farming, ranching, manufacturing, and construction. He describes himself as an "America First" candidate, prioritizing loosening regulations to support small businesses. Marker aligns with many of Donald Trump's policies, particularly on immigration, and seeks to bring "more hope" to New Mexico. He advanced to the November 3, 2026 general election ballot after winning 31,220 certified write-in votes in the June 2, 2026 Republican primary.
Larry E Marker has a recorded position on three issues. Each is Civoren's summary of the campaign's own public material, with the source linked.
Supports defending New Mexico farmers and ranchers from 'regulatory abuse' and 'lawfare' by federal agencies, protecting grazing rights, water access, and due process before agencies can restrict producers' land use.
“Ranchers and farmers should not need a legal defense team just to keep doing honest work on the land.”

Supports an 'all-of-the-above' energy strategy that defends New Mexico's oil and gas industry (which he says funds classrooms and rural jobs), and pledges to codify federal permitting 'shot-clocks' so permits are deemed approved if deadlines are missed, while expanding into hydrogen and nuclear energy.
“The answer is not retreat. It is an all-of-the-above strategy that respects New Mexico's current strength while opening the door to hydrogen, nuclear, and next-generation industrial growth.”

Frames border security as public-safety and public-health policy: backs a 'total-security' approach to shut down the fentanyl pipeline, supports Border Patrol and local law enforcement, and pledges to tie DHS funding to border-surveillance performance metrics and to block nominees who do not support enforcing immigration laws.
“We cannot talk about public health without talking about border security. To save our children, we must stop the poison at the source.”
