Decision Desk HQ projects that Democrat Deb Haaland will win New Mexico’s governor’s race over Republican Gregg Hull. The projection came on Tuesday night and is not a certified result. Haaland, a Laguna Pueblo member and former Interior secretary, would become the first Native American woman to serve as governor of a U.S. state and the third consecutive woman to hold the office in New Mexico. Haaland has promised voters she will work to improve public education and address the rising cost of living. The reports say Stephanie Garcia Richard, the first woman and first Latina elected commissioner of public lands, will serve as lieutenant governor.

    Both left-side headlines lead with Haaland’s place in history as the first Native American woman governor, and the New York Times states the outcome as elected rather than projected.

    The Hill’s headline states that Haaland wins the race outright, leaving the Decision Desk HQ projection to the description, and leads with the result rather than the milestone.
