Santa Fe, NM (KKOB) – A state judge has removed Republican Representative Rebecca Dow from the ballot ahead of New Mexico’s June primary election. The ruling disqualified Dow’s nominating petitions, finding they did not meet state election requirements. The challenge was filed by former Democratic state representative Tara Jaramillo, who previously ran against Dow in House District 38. Dow, who is seeking reelection, says she plans to appeal the decision to the New Mexico Supreme Court. Unless overturned, there will be no Republican candidate on the primary ballot for the district.
