At the 47th Annual Conference on Aging, we honor New Mexico’s elders—the keepers of our traditions, languages, and stories that shape every community. Wishing everyone attending the rest of the conference an inspiring and uplifting experience.

New Mexico lost a treasure yesterday. Florence Jaramillo, the heart of Rancho de Chimayó, passed away at 94. Her love and legacy will live on in her family, her restaurant, and in all who had the joy of knowing her. May her memory be a blessing.

Child care can cost families up to $1,100 a month—but not in New Mexico. Starting Nov. 1, universal child care means parents can work, kids get the best start, and families keep more money in their pockets.

Today @notredame.bsky.social, I joined my friend, Utah Gov. Spencer J. Cox, for a chat about putting pragmatism over politics and restoring civility to our discourse. Thank you to everyone involved in planning this hopeful event. To borrow Gov. Cox’s phrase, let’s all try to “Disagree Better!”

Happening soon! I’ll be joining Utah @GovCox at the University of @NotreDame for a bipartisan conversation on pragmatic governance and bridging political divides. Click the link below at 11 a.m. MT to watch the discussion live. youtu.be/auBd-birpEA

Looking forward to joining my colleague @GovCox and the @NotreDame community today for an important conversation about pragmatic governance and overcoming political division. Watch the livestream at 11 a.m. MT. on Facebook @GovMLG.

At 104, Stella Lavadie still remembers the day she saw an Uncle Sam poster and enlisted in the Women’s Army Corps. Born in Taos in 1921, she’s now a Military Women’s Memorial #LivingLegend —only the 3rd in NM. A true trailblazer. Please join me in celebrating this extraordinary New Mexican! #WWII

America is taking notice—New Mexico's bold plan to offer no-cost child care to all families, regardless of income, is a model for other states. When we help families get ahead, we help our entire state and nation. Thanks to the @washingtonpost.com for this deep dive on our exciting announcement.

No more choosing between work and child care costs. New Mexico is eliminating ALL barriers to quality child care. Starting Nov. 1, child care in New Mexico is free for ALL families. Every child deserves a great start, and every parent deserves peace of mind. #UniversalChildCare #NewMexico

27,000 New Mexicans depend on federal health insurance tax credits to afford coverage. These credits are literally keeping families healthy and financially stable at a time when the cost of living in America continues to rise. Congress: Don’t let these expire. #ExtendTheCredits #NoPremiumHikes

I join all New Mexicans in mourning the loss of Robert Redford, whose deep connection to our state left an indelible mark on its cultural and environmental landscape. Read my full statement here: www.governor.state.nm.us/2025/09/16/g...

Check out the new commercial for New Mexico's anti-litter campaign at 10 a.m. tomorrow, September 16! Find it on YouTube at www.youtube.com/Govmlg. #BreakingBadHabits #KeepLitterOut

Great night at @newmexicoutd.bsky.social! Our teams connected with fans about #KEEPLITTEROUT. But here's the kicker—we ran into Vince Gilligan! He teased the next #BreakingBadHabits commercial drop. Ready to join the movement? Take the pledge: breakingbadhabits.nm.gov

New Mexico families are not alone in their struggle to afford child care. Parents shouldn’t have to choose between rent, child care, or any other life necessity. That’s why, beginning Nov. 1, all New Mexico families will be eligible for no-cost child care. Visit eligibility.ececd.nm.gov to apply.

The abhorrent shooting of Charlie Kirk in Utah today is tragic and grossly un-American. We can disagree deeply, but violence is never the answer. I urge all Americans to choose respect and dialogue over hate and violence.

We did it, New Mexico! Yesterday we made history as the first state in the nation to guarantee no-cost child care for every family. This is a game-changer for parents, kids, and communities across our state—and a blueprint for the nation. Read more here: sourcenm.com/2025/09/08/n...

Preparedness saves lives. This month, make sure local alerts are enabled on your phone so you receive real-time updates during emergencies. Let’s stay informed and ready.

Public health is a shared responsibility. That’s why New Mexico is taking action to make #COVID #vaccines accessible to all. Science saves lives and everyone deserves care. www.kob.com/new-mexico/n...

NM should not be forced to shoulder these heavy burdens without help from their elected officials. After discussions with legislative leaders, we’ve resolved to do everything possible to protect essential services and minimize the damage from President Trump’s disastrous bill. tinyurl.com/yx3devtw

Our veterans fought for our freedoms. The VA’s proposed abortion rule strips away theirs. I stand with the Reproductive Freedom Alliance in pushing back against this dangerous policy. #ReproductiveFreedom #ReproRights #ProtectVeterans #VeteransDeserveBetter

I think Democrats ought to be tough on crime. But being tough on crime does not mean that you are breaching people's constitutional rights, like free speech.

We’re taking bold action to expand affordable housing. With over $80 million invested in Bernalillo County, we’re working to move at least 1,000 people off the streets by next summer. Every New Mexican deserves the dignity of a safe and stable home. #HousingForAll More here: tinyurl.com/3jr6j9ps

The 101st Burning of #Zozobra reminds us of the resilience that defines New Mexico. Generations have gathered in Santa Fe to celebrate community, hope and brighter days ahead. Thanks to the @Kiwanis Club of Santa Fe for keeping this tradition alive. Happy Zozobra Day, New Mexico! #zozobra101

Dr. Paul Roth and Dr. Lance Chilton–two of NM’s preeminent physicians–wrote this op-ed because they know babies born to drug-dependent parents need protections. My plan isn’t about punishing parents; it’s about getting them the help they need while keeping their newborns safe until they can recover.

Our investments in affordable and attainable housing, as well as homelessness prevention, will help solve New Mexico’s housing crisis. When we face a challenge of this magnitude, we must go all-in on smart, strategic solutions. New Mexicans––and our communities––deserve no less. tinyurl.com/3zmdybnf

Children across New Mexico are waiting for caring adults who can provide them with a safe home and a brighter future. The need for foster families in New Mexico is urgent. Please visit cyfd.nm.gov/bethevillage to see how you can help New Mexico’s most vulnerable children.

New Mexico has worked hard to reduce hunger among children and senior citizens during my administration. Sadly, Trump’s reckless budget cuts pose a grave threat to this progress. Rest assured, we’ll keep doing everything possible to protect New Mexicans.

To any teen thinking about making threats or bringing harm to a school: think twice. These actions are serious crimes with lifelong consequences. There’s always a better way. Your life and the lives of others matter.

Their code was never broken. Their courage never forgotten. We honor the Navajo Code Talkers’ service and the legacy they left for future generations. #NavajoCodeTalkersDay

90 years strong. Social Security has provided dignity and security. Now it’s up to us to safeguard it for future generations. Read more here: www.governor.state.nm.us/2025/08/14/g...

When our local leaders called for help to protect their communities, we responded immediately with decisive action. We are making every resource available to support our local partners on the ground and restore public safety and stability to these areas that have been hardest hit by this crisis.

Nothing says August in #NewMexico like the smell of fresh roasted chiles! Chile season is officially here. One question: Are you Red, Green or Christmas? Share your favorite #chile memories in the comments below!

President Trump’s unilateral actions in Washington, D.C., do nothing to keep Americans safe, and show an alarming contempt for our laws and democratic norms.

Another school year begins! To our phenomenal teachers: thank you for your patience, creativity, and commitment to educating our children. Wishing all students and staff a wonderful year!

Big thanks to Miss New Mexico, Madyson Kettler, for stopping by the Roundhouse today. This UNM senior from Corrales is on her way to Miss America. Let’s show our support – drop your well wishes in the comments below!

Hey New Mexicans! We're nominated for "North America's Leading Regional Destination.” Honestly, it's about time the world recognized what we've always known. Cast your vote by Aug. 10! Vote here: www.newmexico.org/.../new-mexi...

New Mexico will do everything it can to support public media going forward, and I urge my friends in the New Mexico congressional delegation to fight to restore funding for the CPB. www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

The new bridge on NM Highway 566 near Church Rock represents more than just a project completed; it’s a promise kept. Funded with federal and state dollars, this investment delivers safety, access, and opportunity to McKinley County.

Behind every Medicaid and Medicare statistic is a real person – a child receiving life-saving treatment, a senior aging with dignity, a working parent who can finally afford to see a doctor. These programs represent the best of what government can achieve when we prioritize people over politics.

Vado is facing devastating flooding, and this crisis demands immediate action. New Mexico is mobilizing resources to support this resilient community through recovery.

This federal declaration delivers the action we sought for a community that has shown incredible resilience through repeated disasters. The people of Lincoln County deserve every resource we can provide, and we will continue working until every family and business in New Mexico has fully recovered.

In times of disaster, New Mexicans step up for one another. The New Mexico National Guard is on the front lines in Ruidoso, aiding families who’ve lost so much. Thank you for your strength, service, and unwavering presence in our communities.

This federal declaration is a critical first step, but it's not everything the Village of #Ruidoso needs and deserves. We will continue working with the federal government for more resources to help this community fully recover from these deadly floods. More here: tinyurl.com/mr2pw9we

Ruidoso rebuilt quickly after last summer’s fires and flooding and I know they’ll do it again. Meanwhile, my administration is offering every available resource to help this resilient and proud community get back on its feet.

Ruidoso endured devastating wildfires and flooding last summer, and now catastrophic flooding is hitting this resilient community again. This crisis demands immediate action. New Mexico is mobilizing every resource we have.

My administration is going through this budget with a fine-tooth comb, identifying every threat to our state, and we’re going to fight like hell to protect what matters most.

I urge New Mexicans to call Republican members of the U.S. House immediately and demand that they vote against this awful bill.

We’re running out of time. The Senate passed the budget bill and now it’s back in the House for final passage. Call Republicans in Congress and tell them: grow a spine—don’t cut health insurance for 17 million Americans just to pay for massive tax cuts for billionaires.

At the Western Governors Association meetings in Santa Fe this week, we didn't agree on everything––far from it. But we had collegial and candid conversations about fixing problems that affect all of our states, red or blue. www.santafenewmexican.com/opinion/edit...
