SANTA FE 鈥� While New Mexico鈥檚 Republican Party has been beset by infighting during this year鈥檚 election cycle, a recently filed lawsuit indicates state Democrats aren鈥檛 in full harmony either.

The lawsuit filed last week in 2nd Judicial District Court in Albuquerque accuses top Democratic Party of New Mexico officials of not following party rules in their push to remove Brenda Hoskie, the party鈥檚 secretary, from her post.

It specifically names state Democratic Party Chairwoman Sara Attleson and DPNM Executive Director Sean Ward as plaintiffs.

The removal of Hoskie, who is Navajo, came after she voiced concern about a pattern of discrimination against Navajos within the state Democratic Party, according to the lawsuit.

In a earlier this year, Hoskie said she was told by top DPNM officials to 鈥渟tay on my reservation鈥� and be a token representative of New Mexico鈥檚 Native American population. She said she shared the concerns with Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham, Navajo Nation President Buu Nygren and other officials.

Former state Sen. Jacob Candelaria of Albuquerque, who is Hoskins鈥� attorney in the lawsuit, said Monday separate discrimination and retaliation claims could also be filed against the state party.

But he said the current lawsuit specifically targets how Hoskie was stripped of her position as secretary despite no hearing on the matter being held by the party鈥檚 State Central Committee, as is required by DPNM rules.

鈥淭he lawsuit simply asks the court to enforce the Democratic Party鈥檚 own rules,鈥� Candelaria told the Journal.

He also described the removal of Hoskie from the party post she was elected to as an 鈥渋llegal coup attempt,鈥� and said an attorney for the state Democratic Party had asked him to delay filing the lawsuit.

There could be recent legal precedent about the courts鈥� ability to intervene in disputes over New Mexico political party rules, as a state judge in Los Lunas ordered former GOP chairwoman Amy Barela to step down from her post in May for failing to comply with published GOP rules.

Even before the lawsuit was filed, the Democrats鈥� internal dust-up had caused fissures within the state party. A group of Democratic State Central Committee members has backed Hoskie, according to emails obtained by the Journal.

A Democratic Party of New Mexico spokesperson said Monday the party maintains the internal processes involving Hoskie were conducted in compliance with party rules.

鈥淥ur focus remains on reaching voters across the state and electing Democrats in November,鈥� the DPNM spokesperson also said.

But the lawsuit suggests that internal tensions within the party surrounding Hoskie, who is the former McKinley County Democratic Party chairwoman, have been simmering for several months.

After Hoskie leveled her discrimination allegations this spring, a complaint against her was filed by Attleson. Both Attleson and Hoskie were elected to their party leadership posts in April 2025.

Instead of a full vote being taken in response to Attleson鈥檚 complaint, the party鈥檚 seven-member committee on discipline held a May hearing that led to certain requirements being imposed on Hoskie, including a full written apology to certain party members, in order to keep her post.

When Hoskie did not comply with at least one of those requirements, she was declared by top party officials as removed from office, according to the lawsuit.

Meanwhile, the legal action comes with less than two months remaining before the start of early voting in this fall鈥檚 general election. Democrats currently hold all statewide offices in New Mexico, along with comfortable majorities in both legislative chambers.

The lawsuit that seeks to restore Hoskie to her party post has been assigned to District Judge Lisa Chavez Ortega. No hearings in the case had been scheduled as of Monday, according to court records.
