This April, I'm proud to proclaim Parkinson's Disease Awareness Month in New Mexico. This month let's raise awareness and support the work of organizations like the Parkinson's Foundation that are making a difference for New Mexicans.

Meeting New Mexicans where they are is what my administration is all about. Join us on May 1st from 2–5 PM at the Village Plaza in Columbus, NM for a Holistic Health & Resource Fair bringing state services directly to your community.

New Mexico's car culture runs deep, and it rides low. National Geographic is shining a spotlight on Albuquerque's lowrider revival. Lowriders are a unique expression of our state's rich Hispanic heritage. Read the article here: https://tinyurl.com/yjzh4pnf

Chag Sameach to all New Mexicans celebrating Passover. At the Seder table generations come together — grandparents, parents, and children sharing the ancient story, songs, foods. That bond between family and community is something every New Mexican understands no matter your background or tradition.

Proud to break ground today on the Keres Children's Learning Center at Cochiti Pueblo. New Mexico is already seeing the results of investing in early literacy — reading proficiency among Native American students in grades 3–8 is up 13 points since 2022, the biggest gain of any group in our state.

I, Michelle Lujan Grisham, Governor of the State of New Mexico, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the State of New Mexico do hereby ORDER and DIRECT as follows:

Nearly 3,000 New Mexicans have been trained for infrastructure and climate-ready careers — surpassing the statewide goal of 2,000. Without a skilled workforce, we cannot repair our aging infrastructure, improve community resilience or carry out the clean energy transition our laws demand.
