Biography

Zamora was born and raised in Clovis, New Mexico.

Prior to his election to the New Mexico House of Representatives, Zamora owned and operated several agriculture businesses. He currently owns a farm in Clovis and a ranch in Torrance County. Zamora took office on January 15, 2019, succeeding incumbent Democrat George Dodge.[4] Zamora was re-elected with 59% of the vote.[5]

After Joe Biden defeated Donald Trump in the 2020 presidential election, Zamora cast doubt on the integrity of the election results. Zamora has declined to state whether he believes Biden won the election.[6]

Zamora is running to unseat Democrat Teresa Leger Fernández in the 2026 election in New Mexico's 3rd congressional district.[7] If elected, he would be the first Republican to represent the district since the late 1990s.[8]
