Mark Ronchetti is a popular[2] Albuquerque meteorologist and mostly conservative Republican currently running for United States Senate from New Mexico in the 2020 elections to succeed retiring Sen. Tom Udall.

2020 Senate bid

See: 2020 United States Senate election in New Mexico

Two-term senator Tom Udall announced on March 25, 2020 that he would not seek re-election;[3] Ronchetti announced around a year later in early January 2020 his run for the seat.[2][4] In the Republican primary, he faced Navajo Nation member Elisa Martinez and Gavin Clarkson. Despite having been somewhat less supportive of Trump in certain regards,[2] saying that he "was a Republican" until "the orange one"[5] and called out by Martinez over the comment,[6] he won the primary,[7] and will face establishment Democrat representative Ben Ray Luján in the general election.

Ronchetti released his first TV ad in late August 2020.[8]

At a debate for the general election,[9] Ronchetti strongly called out Luján, the House Assistant Speaker, for being complicit in Nancy Pelosi's obstructions amidst the CCP pandemic.[10] The left-wing representative tended to respond to questions over the COVID-19 outbreak by casting blaming on Trump and Sen. Mitch McConnell.

It was reported in late October 2020 that Ronchetti out-raised Luján.[11]
