On January 25, 2011, Nunez changed his partisan registration from Democratic to Independent. Nunez reportedly made the switch because he had been removed from his chairmanship of the Agriculture and Water Resources Committee, after refusing to support Ben Lujan, Sr. in his re-election to Speaker of the House. Lujan then selected a new chair, prompting Nunez's change.[1]
