President Obama easily carried New Mexico, taking its five electoral votes.

Representatives Ben Ray Luján, a Democrat, and Steve Pearce, a Republican, won re-election.

Representative Martin Heinrich, a Democrat who has represented the First District in Congress for the last four years, won the Senate seat being vacated by Jeff Bingaman, a five-term Democrat. Mr. Heinrich, a former state environmental official, defeated former Representative Heather A. Wilson, a Republican who worked in George H. W. Bush’s administration, and Jon Barrie, an independent.

Ms. Wilson, who served in the House from 1998 through 2008, needed to attract independents and crossover Democrats to win in this state, where only one-third of registered voters identify themselves as Republicans.

In television advertisements, Mr. Heinrich assailed her priorities, saying Ms. Wilson “gave tax cuts to millionaires,” voted for Wall Street bailouts and “now supports a plan that threatens Social Security and Medicare.”

Michelle Lujan Grisham, a Democrat, was elected to a seat that had opened in the First Congressional District. She previously was secretary of the State Department of Aging and Long-Term Services and then the State Health Department.
