Democrats push for majority Hispanic district in New Mexico
Testimony cites that Hispanic candidates won only in districts with majority Hispanic voters. Democrats argue New Mexico’s 42 percent Hispanic population warrants a majority-Hispanic congressional district while Republicans warn such a district could cost them a House seat. The Legislature's plan would redraw the 2nd District to a Hispanic majority by stretching its lines.

Courtfight Over Redistricting Splits Albuquerque Area
Republicans object that the plan would divide Albuquerque into three parts. Albuquerque sits in the 1st District with Heather Wilson. Gov. Gary Johnson vetoed the plan and the dispute moved to court after a stalemate on map drawing between the legislature and the governor. Attorney Jim Browning contested Handley’s testimony, noting incumbency and partisanship factors. Skeen has held his seat since 1980, the longest in the state. Six plans have been filed with Allen, three from each party.
