New Mexico State Treasurer

Earlier this year New Mexico State Treasurer Laura Montoya put several large corporations on a caution list over concerns around child labor in their supply chains. But three months later, she reversed that decision for Walmart after meetings with the company.

Republican Harry Montoya and Democrat Laura Montoya are running to replace State Treasurer Tim Eichenberg who is leaving office after serving the maximum two consecutive terms. The Treasurer manages banking and investments for the state and has a seat on the boards for each of the state’s permanent funds and state retirement funds.
