Engineer and mom Alexis Martinez Johnson is effectively the Republican nominee for New Mexico’s 3rd Congressional District.

Martinez Johnson achieved over 87 percent of the vote in the recent 3rd-district GOP pre-primary convention. While Martinez Johnson still technically has to run in primary, because of her strong showing at the pre-primary convention, no other candidate is on the ballot.

In a release her campaign distributed after the convention, Martinez Johnson touted her strong showing and the energy Republicans have moving forward.

“I’m proud to announce that our campaign has won the Republican convention today,” she said. “Republicans are energized and ready to take back New Mexico’s 3rd Congressional District. Now more than ever, we need a change of leadership in Washington. Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi’s failed, radical policies have led to a record 40-year-high in inflation, skyrocketing gas prices, failing schools, and a growing Communist Russia on the horizon. I’m honored to have the support of the overwhelming majority of Republican delegates, and look forward to flipping this seat red in November.”
