Ray Powell

Democrat Ray Powell was promising lots of transparency in the State Land Office as voters gave him the victory over Republican Matt Rush on Tuesday.

“We’re going to really look at the land office and make sure we make it as transparent and accountable as we can, and really cooperate with 103 communities and 33 counties to create jobs, particularly in renewable energy,” Powell was quoted by The New Mexico Independent as saying.

Powell won 52.2 percent of the vote.
