The district in recent years has, unlike other districts in the state, had a strong track record of its representatives ascending to higher office. Deb Haaland , Stansbury's predecessor, resigned in 2021 to become the United States Secretary of the Interior . Her predecessor, Michelle Lujan Grisham , took office as governor of New Mexico in 2019. Grisham's own predecessor, Martin Heinrich , was elected to the United States Senate in 2012.
Until the 1968 elections , New Mexico's representatives were all elected at-large statewide. Starting in 1969, however, they were elected by districts.
