The record

The 2026 Republican nominee for governor and former mayor of Rio Rancho. He opposes a statewide moratorium — "If you do a statewide moratorium then that sends the message that we're not even open for discussion" — and would evaluate projects one at a time, with guardrails and clawbacks written into state incentive deals. On this project specifically: "Project Jupiter had guardrails built into it.

Now, did they follow through on those? From what I'm hearing, no. So then you put clawbacks in the deal." His campaign says he has not accepted or solicited donations from "big data."

The state's filings, searched by contributor, show no contribution to him from Oracle, BorderPlex, STACK, Bloom, Energy Transfer or OpenAI; and among all 317 contributions of $1,000 or more to his campaign, none comes from those companies' executives or from the construction contractors either (PJCL204).
