2018 New Mexico House of Representatives election
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 2018 New Mexico House of Representatives elections took place as part of the biennial United States elections. New Mexico voters elected state representatives in all 70 of the state house’s districts. State representatives serve two-year terms in the New Mexico House of Representatives.
A primary election on June 5, 2018 determined which candidates appear on the November 6 general election ballot. Primary election results can be obtained from the New Mexico Secretary of State’s website.[1]
In the 2016 state House elections, Democrats flipped 5 seats from Republican hands and took control of the House by increasing their seats from 33 to 38. This put Democrats in effective control of the New Mexico House of Representatives.
To claim control of the chamber from Democrats, the Republicans would need to net 4 House seats. However, in the elections, the Democrats made a net gain of 8 seats, increasing their seats from 38 to 46.
