Daniel A. Ivey-Soto[2] is an American politician and a Democratic member of the New Mexico Senate representing District 15 since January 15, 2013.

Political career

  • 1996: When House District 18 Representative Cisco McSorley ran for New Mexico Senate, Ivey-Soto ran in the four-way June 4, 1996 Democratic Primary but lost to Gail Beam;[3] Beam went on to win the three-way November 5, 1996 General election.
  • 2012: Incumbent District 15 Democratic Senator Tim Eichenberg was unopposed for the June 5, 2012 Democratic Primary;[4] when Senator Eichenberg withdrew, Ivey-Soto replaced him on the November 6, 2012 General election ballot, winning with 10,927 votes (52.9%) against Republican nominee H. Diane Snyder.[5]

In 2022, Ivey-Soto sought to remove automatic voter registration from a voting rights bill that Democratic New Mexico legislators were working on. Ivey-Soto argued that it was intrusive to automatically register voters.[6] Ivey-Soto was also opposed to an Election Day holiday.[6] Ivey-Soto was defeated in the primary race in June 2024.[7] Earlier in 2024 he had been censured by the state Democratic Party which also severed ties with him over sexual harassment and assault allegations.[8]
