Visit https://candidateportal.servis.sos.state.nm.us/CandidateList.aspx?eid=2827&cty=99 for candidate lists. Be sure to check at the far right, as 18 of the candidates listed have withdrawn from their races and another 18 were disqualified.
On that website, you can search by county, office and party. For example, if you want to see just Doña Ana County candidates, click on the county box that has the word “all” in it; scroll down and click on “Dona Ana.”
Also visit www.nmlegis.gov/Publications/2022_Candidates.pdf, which shows all candidates for New Mexico House of Representatives. House districts have been redrawn; House District 39 no longer contains any part of Doña Ana County, but House districts 32 and 38 now include parts of the county.
