Incumbent Democrat Patricio Ruiloba was disqualified from the primary ballot on March 31, 2020, for submitting incomplete information on his election paperwork.[5] Subsequently, Ruiloba resigned effective September 9 in order to run for Bernalillo County Sheriff.[17] Former Bernalillo County Commissioner Art De La Cruz was appointed to the vacant seat,[18] but because the Democratic Party did not have a valid nominee to replace him on the ballot, De La Cruz was forced to run for election to a full term as a write-in candidate.
