  • Background and Experience
    Commonsense Republican Greg Cunningham has spent his life in service—to his country, his community, and his family. As a former special forces Marine, police officer, and undercover detective, Greg has put himself on the line to keep Americans safe. As a husband, father, grandfather, and business owner, he knows firsthand the struggles and hopes of hardworking New Mexicans. His foundation is his faith, which has guided him through every challenge and sacrifice.
    Now, Greg is running for Congress with the same mission that has defined his life: to serve others before himself. He believes the right solutions for New Mexico don’t come from Washington insiders or career politicians, but from listening to the people who live and work here. That’s why Greg is committed to starting this campaign by listening—not lecturing. By uniting—not dividing.

  • Background and Experience
    "Determined to serve his country, when Jose was enlisting in the Marines, he was selected into the Officers Training Program, but a training accident meant he couldn't serve. Undeterred, he found another way to give back to his country—working as a contractor with the DEA, where he helped take down cartels, stop human traffickers, and keep drugs like fentanyl off our streets. He went on to fight for conservative policies and create jobs here in New Mexico.

    Now, Jose is running for Congress in New Mexico’s 2nd District to fight for our values and our future. He’ll work to lower taxes and tackle inflation, back law enforcement against gangs and traffickers, protect oil and gas jobs that power our economy, and give President Trump an ally in Congress."
