Following the announcement of Deb Haaland as Joe Biden's nominee for secretary of the interior, Democrat Melanie Stansbury announced her campaign in a special election for the seat. She ran for the NM House of Representatives in 2018. In her first bid for public office, Melanie defeated the (7-term) incumbent Republican by 7.4%. In 2020 she increased her margin of victory, defeating the GOP challenger by 9.8%. In addition to being the first Democrat to represent District 28 in over a decade, she is also the first woman to ever hold this seat.
