New Mexico has a rich cattle and ranching tradition. By cutting red tape for local producers, we can ensure more of our meat is grown, processed, and packed close to home. I’ll keep pushing to support our farmers and ranchers to keep our food local.

Keeping kids in school sets them up for success, but right now New Mexico is stuck at the bottom of child wellbeing. If we embrace creative ideas that help kids focus on school, New Mexico can become a leader and kids can find the success they deserve.

No one deserves to be a pawn in Trump’s games. NM ensured working families didn’t starve just because they need a little support. It’s time for the federal gov. to step up and replenish those funds that rightfully belong to New Mexicans.

Birthdays are special because they remind us of how far we’ve come and the people in our lives who make it that much better. Thank you to everyone who wished me a happy birthday—I’m grateful for my friends, my family, and this beautiful state.

If Trump wants to violate New Mexicans’ right to free and fair elections, he has to go through me. I'm grateful we have a Secretary of State protecting New Mexicans and I'm ready as governor to do the same.

President Trump has never had to go to the grocery store, much less worry about paying the bills. He doesn't know the struggles people feel and he's gaslighting all of us.

As Secretary, I engaged with local communities and cut the red tape to put shovels in the ground and move SunZia forward. From driving down costs to creating good-paying jobs right here in our state, clean energy projects are a game-changer for families.

Trump’s decision to dismantle the Department of Education will have damaging effects for New Mexico students. Special education, rural school funding, school meals, teacher training, and more are now at risk as our state is supported with nearly $1 billion in federal funding from DOE. (🧵1/3)

Education opens so many doors. I’m proud of our state for giving people these opportunities to pursue a college degree for free. Investing in more educational opportunities makes New Mexico's future stronger, and that will always be my priority.
