Santa Fe is No. 1 in the United States for the second year in a row, according to Travel + Leisure. Its culture, creativity, history, food and incredible small businesses make Santa Fe unlike anywhere else. Congratulations to the people who make this city — and New Mexico — so special. 🏆

Safer communities start with the people who answer the call. New Mexico has invested $90M million to recruit, train and retain public-safety professionals, iincluding a 55% average increase in state police base pay and support that has helped hire 400+ officers across 29 departments.

New Mexico’s clean-energy transition is also an economic development strategy. The state set a goal of reaching 50% renewable electricity by 2030. In 2025, New Mexico surpassed that target five years early, with renewable energy accounting for 52% of electricity generation.

One year after Congressional Republicans passed the so-called “big beautiful bill,” New Mexico is still confronting the consequences of federal cuts that threaten health care coverage, food assistance and basic stability for working families.

Long before this became a headline, New Mexico was already taking action to combat the fentanyl crisis. We’ve invested in public safety, funded new law enforcement officers, expanded overdose prevention, opened new behavioral health facilities and continued demanding accountability.

Happy Pride Day, New Mexico. Today we celebrate the LGBTQ+ community and reaffirm a simple truth: everyone deserves the freedom to live authentically, love openly and build a future where they feel safe, valued and respected every day of the year.

Progress is measured by whether families can afford childcare, college, healthcare and housing. That's why New Mexico has focused on lowering costs, expanding opportunity and delivering results that improve everyday life for working families.

Four years after Roe v. Wade was overturned, New Mexico continues to protect reproductive freedom. Since 2021, we've protected patients and providers and created the nation's first state-funded reproductive health hotline. In 2024, 11,512 patients received abortion care in New Mexico.

This is what happens when college is within reach. Enrollment at New Mexico colleges and universities has increased by nearly 14% since 2021, and institutions have awarded nearly 200,000 degrees and credentials since 2019. More students. More opportunity. A stronger workforce.

New Mexico is ranked the most financially transparent state in the nation according to Truth in Accounting's 2026 Financial Transparency Score. This recognition reflects years of work to improve accountability, strengthen financial oversight and ensure taxpayer dollars are managed responsibly.

Juneteenth honors the end of slavery and the ongoing fight for justice. In New Mexico, we stand in solidarity as we continue working to ensure freedom truly rings for all.

New Mexico's future depends on how we manage our water. We've secured $163 million for the Eastern New Mexico Water Supply Project, invested $20 million to accelerate construction, protected 179 miles of rivers and streams, and supported clean water access for approximately 70,000 New Mexicans.

When federal health insurance subsidies expired, New Mexico acted. We invested nearly $40 million to fully replace those subsidies—the only state in the nation to do so. That decision is helping an estimated 27,000 New Mexicans keep coverage and expanding insurance to another 10,000 residents.

Happy New Mexico Day. New Mexico's greatest strength has always been its people and the place we call home. Every family deserves the opportunity to build a future here. That's why we've invested in free child care, free pre-k, stronger schools and tuition-free higher education.

For the first time, solar generated more electricity than coal in a single month nationwide. New Mexico is helping lead that transition through investments in renewable energy. We can grow our economy and build a cleaner energy future at the same time.

In New Mexico, we believe every person deserves dignity, respect and the freedom to be who they are. While some states continue targeting LGBTQ+ communities, New Mexico remains committed to protecting rights and ensuring people feel safe, supported and welcome. Happy Pride Month, New Mexico.
