Gomie might finally get a chance to clean up Albuquerque.

Steven Michael Quezada, who played ill-fated DEA agent Steven “Gomie” Gomez on AMC’s epic meth drama “Breaking Bad,” is running for a county commissioner seat in Bernalillo County, New Mexico, the Associated Press reports.

The county seat of Bernalillo County is Albuquerque, where “Breaking Bad” was set.

Quezada, whose credits also include “The Mindy Project,” said that he hopes to bring “a new face to the Democratic Party.”

“We need to reach out to our young people — the young Chicanos, the young Latinos — and get them involved in this process and let them know this is important,” Quezada said.

The actor, 52, also sits on the Albuquerque school board.
