Sen. Mimi Stewart will not seek re-election

SANTA FE, N.M. – State Senate President Pro Tem Mimi Stewart will not run for re-election in 2028 after more than 30 years in the state Legislature.

Her team confirmed the decision with KOB 4.

Stewart is a Democrat and has been a powerful and controversial figure in state politics for years. Most recently, Stewart had a 2024 run-in with Santa Fe police.

Police said Stewart reportedly ran over a pedestrian’s foot while he was in a crosswalk.

Police could not determine who was at fault, and Stewart later settled a lawsuit with the man out of court.

Stewart has served in the state Legislature for more than 30 years.
