GREGG HULL: DEADBEAT DAD
Hull had to be forced to cover health insurance for his kids...so how can New Mexicans trust him to protect their healthcare?
ALBUQUERQUE - Last Friday, an article by journalist Aaron Parnas and the MeidasTouch Network revealed that Gregg Hull dodged responsibility for his own daughters multiple times and needed the New Mexico courts to force him to provide them with healthcare.
As healthcare costs skyrocket and New Mexico families face severe threats from Trump’s cuts, court records lay bare a disqualifying truth about Republican gubernatorial candidate Gregg Hull: he has a relentless track record of abandoning his own family's financial and medical responsibilities.
Building on previous reporting from the Santa Fe New Mexican, the MeidasTouch story highlights court documents from past child support cases, revealing that Hull repeatedly lagged on payments and went to extreme lengths to avoid providing health insurance and pregnancy-related medical costs for his 17-year-old daughter.
Throughout his children's lives, filings indicate Hull rarely, if ever, provided direct health insurance coverage for them. Previously unreported, court filings also show the family’s health insurance coverage shifted several times over the years. Hull’s ex-wife maintained the children’s coverage through her employer, and the same filings indicate the daughters were later added to the insurance plan of Hull’s second wife through her employer, Intel, around 2000, before being moved back onto their mother’s coverage in 2004. For a man who already wants to cut SNAP, Medicaid, and universal childcare, and who wants to sell off more rural clinics and hospitals to private equity, it’s clear he’s unfit to protect New Mexico’s healthcare system.
“For a Republican ticket that believes deadbeat dads are what’s wrong with our state, these new details about Gregg Hull’s inability to provide for his own kids are particularly ironic,” said Mila Myles, spokeswoman for the Democratic Party of New Mexico. “Members of the media should ask Hull what he did and what he didn’t do when it came to supporting his kids, and if he has any real interest in protecting the healthcare of New Mexicans if he couldn’t even be bothered to provide stable healthcare to his family. New Mexicans deserve a leader who will fight for working families, lower costs, and protect access to healthcare, not someone who turns their back on their own family and rubber-stamps Donald Trump’s dangerous cuts to Medicaid.”
This disregard for providing stable healthcare for his own family mirrors Hull’s extreme political agenda. While New Mexico communities face the devastating impacts of Trump-backed healthcare cuts, Hull has openly stated he would "scale back" resources, proposed cuts to Medicaid and universal childcare, and pledged to undermine critical safety nets. Furthermore, Hull’s campaign is fueled by hundreds of thousands of dollars from Trump-aligned MAGA donors, tying his bid directly to an agenda that drives up costs and rips away care from working families.
