Early life and education

Born and raised in Aztec, New Mexico, Lane graduated from Aztec High School.[1] After earning his bachelor's degree in mathematics, he earned a Juris Doctor from the Liberty University School of Law.[2]

Career

After graduating from law school, Lane served as a law clerk for Judge James A. Teilborg of the United States District Court for the District of Arizona. Lane then worked as an associate attorney at a law firm in Farmington, New Mexico before returning to his hometown to establish a private legal practice.[3] He then served on the Aztec School Board.[4] Lane ran unopposed in the 2020 Republican primary and November general election. He assumed office on January 19, 2021.[5][6]

When fellow state Representative Georgene Louis, a Democrat, was arrested for aggravated DWI in February 2022, she called Lane, after the first several of her colleagues whom she called were unavailable. Lane then drove to the police station as she requested, but was turned away by the arresting officer because Louis was in the booking process.[7]
