About
Sam Bregman, a Democratic candidate for Governor of New Mexico in the 2026 primary, currently serves as the Bernalillo County District Attorney, a position he assumed in 2023. He announced his gubernatorial bid in April 2025, campaigning on reversing New Mexico’s low rankings in education and high crime rates. Bregman advocates for a prosperous economy, improved healthcare access, and addressing high truancy rates, having released a detailed 189-page policy plan. He frames himself as a pragmatic choice, challenging his primary opponent Deb Haaland to debates and arguing he can best defend the state against national political extremism, including the "radical left." He has received an endorsement from the Jicarilla Apache.
