Bregman Attacks Haaland Over Epstein Ties in NM Governor Race

Bregman Attacks Haaland Over Epstein Ties in NM Governor Race

Author: The Daily News Now! April 16, 2026 Duration: 1:44

In the New Mexico governor race, Democrat Sam Bregman attacks rival Deb Haaland over her connection to Jeffrey Epstein, claiming shes tainted. Haalands team denies any knowledge of Epstein, while Bregmans ad spend surpasses $31,000. With Governor Lujan Grisham term-limited, Bregman and Haaland lead the Democratic pack against three Republicans. Epsteins shadow looms as New Mexico revisits sex abuse probes at his ranch, now under a truth commission. Negative ads like Bregmans often surface when candidates lag in cash or polls, particularly when targeting women.
