New Mexico voters are participating in the primary to reshape the Democratic-led Legislature with all 112 seats up for election in November. The elections could have implications for Native American communities, the state's oil industry, and the #MeToo movement. Notable races include district attorney positions in Albuquerque and Santa Fe, where Alec Baldwin is set to stand trial in July. The closed primary system may lead to small margins determining candidates for the general election, with low overall turnout. Incumbents are being challenged, and various issues such as Native American representation, sexual harassment allegations, and support for the oil industry are central to the races.
