An election for governor and lieutenant governor of New Mexico was held in 1994 for the four-year term beginning in 1995. Candidates for governor and lieutenant governor ran on a ticket as running mates.
Incumbent Democrat Bruce King ran for a fourth term with Patricia Madrid as a running mate, losing to Republican nominees Gary Johnson, a businessman, and Walter Bradley, a former state senator. Roberto Mondragón, who served as lieutenant governor from 1971–1974 and from 1979 to 1982, ran with Steven Schmidt as the nominees of the Green Party, receiving 10.4 percent of the vote, an unusually high percent of the vote for third party candidates.
