Democratic U.S. Rep. Ben Ray Lujan has won a sixth term representing northern New Mexico's 3rd District.
He defeated Republican Jerald Steve McFall and Libertarian Chris Manning on Tuesday. Lujan campaigned on efforts to advance immigration reform, expand Medicaid and address climate change.
Lujan has spearheaded efforts since 2014 to cut short Republican control of Congress as chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. He has long pushed for congressional candidates from diverse backgrounds.
McFall is an Angel Fire, New Mexico, farmer and political newcomer who waged an uphill battle in a district where registered Democrats outnumber Republicans nearly 2-1. He ran on supporting immigration restrictions, opposing abortion and protecting young immigrants brought to the country illegally as children.
Manning is a businessman who ran on controlling spending.
