John McGuire faces a Republican primary challenge from Melanie Lucero as Democrats aim to contest the 5th Congressional District race, which may become more competitive due to invalidated redistricting changes and shifting voter patterns. The race will proceed under the 2021 congressional map after courts struck down a voter-approved redistricting amendment.
