SANTA FE – Albuquerque financial adviser and military veteran Greg Zanetti jumped into New Mexico’s 2022 race for governor on Monday, becoming the third Republican to announce plans to challenge Democratic Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham.
A retired brigadier general in the Army, Zanetti said he would bring a different leadership style to the Governor’s Office and criticized Lujan Grisham’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, claiming the governor “overreacted” to the virus by imposing broad business restrictions.

“I think we all want a better New Mexico. What we have now isn’t working,” Zanetti said Monday.
While an incumbent governor has not lost a reelection bid in over 26 years, Zanetti said he felt compelled to run against Lujan Grisham – if he can win the GOP nomination in June 2022.
