Albuquerque, NM (KKOB) — 67 year old Duke Rodriguez, is considering a run for governor of New Mexico. The president and CEO of Ultra Health, which he founded in 2010, said he’s talked to national Republican groups and local GOP officials about the viability of a campaign. On the Democratic side, former U.S. Interior Secretary Deb Haaland and Bernalillo County District Attorney Sam Bregman have both announced their campaigns. If he ends up running, Rodriguez would join a GOP field of candidates that currently only includes Rio Rancho Mayor Gregg Hull. Rodriguez previously served as secretary of New Mexico’s Human Services Department under former Gov. Gary Johnson, and was a senior executive for Lovelace Health System.
