History
The district was created as a result of the redistricting cycle after the 1980 census. Ben Ray Luján, who was elected to the seat in 2008, ran successfully for the United States Senate in 2020, leaving the seat open. Democratic nominee Teresa Leger Fernandez defeated Republican Alexis Johnson in the 2020 general election.{{Cite news |title=New Mexico Primary Election Results: Third Congressional District |language=en-US |work=The New York Times |url=https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/06/02/us/elections/results-new-mexico-house-district-3-primary-election.html |access-date=November 8, 2020 |issn=0362-4331}}
