The New Mexico secretary of state's office will accept signature petitions from candidates seeking a major party nomination for Congress or the U.S. Senate.
Republicans also are choosing a contender to take on U.S. Rep. Gabe Vasquez in a congressional swing seat along the U.S. border with Mexico.
Former one-term U.S. Rep. Yvette Herrell hopes to reclaim the 2nd District seat she lost in the 2022 election.
The district is one of about a dozen in the national spotlight as Republicans campaign to keep their slim U.S. House majority in 2024.
The Republican Party unsuccessfully challenged a Democratic-drawn congressional map that reshaped the 2nd District as it divvied up a conservative, oil-producing region among three congressional districts.
