Las Cruces, NM – July 17, 2026 – In an exciting twist for the upcoming governor’s race, Ken Miyagishima, the longest-serving mayor of Las Cruces, has officially endorsed Gregg Hull and concluded his own campaign for governor. While Miyagishima had contemplated seeking an appeal to the Supreme Court to secure a place on the ballot, he has ultimately decided to end his campaign and support Hull. This endorsement marks a pivotal moment for New Mexico’s leadership and is set to energize voters and reshape the political landscape!

Miyagishima, who is tri-racial—of Japanese, Mexican, and Apache descent-shared his passionate commitment to the state’s future: “I have known Mayor Hull for almost 12 years. He is intelligent, hardworking, and a man of integrity. His record reflects his dedication to the people of both Rio Rancho and New Mexico. My goal is to help transform Mayor Hull into Governor Hull, deliver for the southwestern part of our state, and close the gap in our Native American communities. I am eager to mobilize support in southern New Mexico and our native lands for our future governor, Gregg Hull!”

Hull expressed his heartfelt gratitude for the endorsement, viewing it as a transformative moment for his campaign. “Ken’s support demonstrates our shared commitment to the people of New Mexico,” Hull said. “Together, we will tackle the challenges in our communities, stimulate our economy, and ensure that every New Mexican has a voice in government.”

As the election approaches, Hull’s campaign is gaining remarkable momentum, supported by a growing network of advocates who believe in his vision for real change. Miyagishima’s endorsement adds tremendous strength to Hull’s campaign, emphasizing the power of teamwork and effective leadership during this crucial time.

With early voting just months away, Hull’s team is actively mobilizing a passionate group of volunteers and supporters eager to join

this movement. The excitement is palpable, and the message is clear: New Mexico deserves a governor who is dedicated,

innovative, and ready to work tirelessly for all its citizens.

Miyagishima concluded, “I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to my running mate JC Lopez, my film producer, Raj Nirmalakhandan,

my dedicated campaign staff, my enthusiastic volunteers, and my number one supporter, my wife Rosie. This incredible team

gathered over 20,000 signatures! Together, we will ensure that Gregg Hull becomes the next Governor of New Mexico!”
