Duke of cannabis wants to be New Mexico governor
One potential candidate for governor is wary of being typecast.
Don't call Duke Rodriguez the king of cannabis. He says there is much more to his story.
Rodriguez, 67, wants to be seen as a captain of industry who's busy investigating whether he can win the Republican nomination and then the general election.
"I'm prepared to spend $2 million personally," he said Tuesday in a wide-ranging interview.
Ego, Rodriguez added, has nothing to do with his aspiration to be governor. "This is sincere. I don't need the title," he said.
His self-imposed time frame to decide whether to enter the race is as early as next month but no later than August. The gubernatorial primary is in June 2026.
