Gregg Hull

Where Hull stands

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I am most passionate about the things that decide whether a family can build a good life here. That starts with our kids. Every child deserves to be safe, and CYFD has failed too many of them. It continues with public safety. As Mayor of Rio Rancho, I doubled the police budget because people cannot thrive in a community where they do not feel safe. And it includes good jobs. I built a business from the ground up and spent twelve years as mayor bringing employers to our city, so I know what it takes to grow an economy. New Mexico has everything it needs to succeed.

What criteria should be applied when considering proposed large economic development projects?

Projects should be evaluated on the quality and wages of jobs created, their alignment with New Mexico's existing strengths — research, advanced manufacturing, energy, and defense — and whether they support workforce development. Incentives must be tied to measurable results and fiscal accountability. Projects should benefit both rural and urban communities, avoid placing undue burdens on infrastructure or public services, and strengthen long-term economic resilience. My core question: does this investment leave New Mexico more diversified, more self-sufficient, and better positioned to grow?

What qualifies you for this office?

I have been a New Mexico resident for more than 40 years, an entrepreneur, and Rio Rancho's longest-serving mayor, elected three times beginning in 2014. Before entering public service, I built and operated two businesses, gaining direct experience with job creation and regulatory challenges. As mayor, I doubled the police budget, helped Rio Rancho earn recognition as New Mexico's safest city, and attracted more than $6 billion in investment. In 2024, Rio Rancho was named a Best Place to Live for Families and the state's most affordable city. I am ready to bring that same record of results to all New Mexicans.
