Hobbs, NM – Today, New Mexico Congressman Steve Pearce (NM-02) announced his candidacy for Chairman of the Republican Party of New Mexico. If elected by the Republican Party’s State Central Committee on December 8, 2018, Pearce will serve a two-year term as Chairman.

“As I campaigned for Governor over the past two years, I met New Mexicans in every corner of the state and from all walks of life who share a burning hope for a brighter future. Although we were not successful on November 6, the work to bring meaningful change to the state we love is not over. Cynthia and I know that we can work alongside our fellow New Mexicans to rebuild our Party, elect common sense candidates across the state, and continue to do good for New Mexico.

“I seek the Chairmanship of the Republican Party of New Mexico not for the title, but instead for the opportunity to help create a new beginning for our party and a path to prosperity for our state.” – Congressman Steve Pearce

The Republican Party of New Mexico is governed by an approximately five-hundred-member State Central Committee, elected by fellow Republicans from across the state. The election for Chairman and the other RPNM officers will be held at the Marriott Pyramid of Albuquerque on Saturday, December 8.
