Gregg Hull

Gregg Hull and his wife, Carrie, raised five children in New Mexico, all of whom attended local public schools, and now have nine grandchildren.¹ Away from elected office, his community roles have included serving as a finance counselor and Sunday school teacher at Mesa Baptist Church.²

Before becoming mayor, Hull worked in commercial crating and motorhome resale businesses.³ He led Certified Packing and Crating, a logistics and packaging company serving the Albuquerque area, and sold his interests in 2012.⁴ He then won election as Rio Rancho’s mayor in 2014, followed by reelections in 2018 and 2022.¹

Hull served twelve years as mayor before leaving the office in 2026 to pursue the governorship.⁵ His municipal work also included chairing the New Mexico Mayors Caucus and the Mid Region Council of Governments, and serving as president of the New Mexico Municipal League.² His campaign has called for greater investment in roads and the health care workforce, alongside changes to bail and juvenile justice laws.³

Against Democrat Deb Haaland, Hull proposes requiring wealthier families to contribute to child care costs and expanding investment in local water systems.⁵ Their disagreement over universal child care would shape whether New Mexico maintains free access regardless of income or introduces the copayments he advocates.⁵
