New Mexico stepped up to confront the measles threat and the nation is taking notice. A new @CDCgov report cites our measles response as a model for the nation, with a 55% increase in vaccinations. When we lead with science, we keep New Mexicans healthy and save lives. Learn more here: cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/7…

Okay, we’re a day late — but in our defense, we were busy governing. Green attire, clearly, was not optional yesterday. Happy belated St. Patrick’s Day from the Governor’s Office. 🍀 #StPatricksDay #GreenAttire #HolidayGreetings

The allegations leveled against Cesar Chavez — as reported in the New York Times expose — are shocking and horrifying. I support a full and thorough investigation of these deeply disturbing allegations, and my heart goes out to my friend Dolores Huerta and anyone else who suffered abuse. It’s important to remember that the labor rights movement — built on respect for human dignity and collective power -- is larger than any one individual. We remain committed to honoring that history and the basic human rights that the movement fought to recognize.

New Mexico is rising. Our investments in adult education have moved our state from 50th in the nation in 2019 to 20th today in adult education outcomes, according to new federal data. I am proud that in New Mexico, there is no wrong door to education. @nmhighered Learn more about our adult education opportunities here: hed.nm.gov/students-paren…

While Washington is in chaos, New Mexico is getting things done. I sat down with Meidas Touch for their State of the States podcast to talk about what's possible when you actually lead — #1 in family income growth, 150,000 new jobs, a booming clean energy economy, and free childcare for every family in our state. New Mexico isn't waiting around. We're building a blueprint for the rest of the country.

Fire Season is here — and it's only March. A heat dome is settling over the West for the next two weeks, bringing temperatures 20–30° above normal to the Southwest. With New Mexico's snowpack already well below average, conditions are shaping up for a severe wildfire season. Now is the time to prepare: - Clear defensible space around your home - Know your water sources - Have an evacuation plan ready - Sign up for emergency alerts Don't wait for the smoke to act. Stay safe, New Mexico. Read the article about this heat dome weather : cnn.com/2026/03/12/wea… #NewMexico #FireSeason #WildFirePreparedness #NMwx

The Pack is heading to Fayetteville! 🐺 Five UNM Lobos are competing at the 2026 NCAA Indoor Track & Field Championships this weekend — including Habtom Samuel (3K/5K), Pamela Kosgei (3K/5K), and Evans Kiplagat (5K). Coming off a historic 2025 where the Lobos brought home national titles and Mountain West sweeps, this team is hungry for more. Let's GO, New Mexico! #GoLobos #NewMexico #NCAAIndoor

Lowriders on a stamp? Yes, please. Love seeing the United States Postal Service celebrate the art, culture, and pride of New Mexico's favorite ride with the Lowriders Forever stamp collection. @USPS

High-speed internet is a necessity in our fast-paced world. That’s why I signed legislation to help more than 100,000 low-income New Mexican families afford #broadband. This means that kids across New Mexico will be able to submit homework from their kitchen tables, older adults can consult their doctors online, and entrepreneurs can launch small businesses from home. Opportunity shouldn’t depend on your ZIP code or your wallet, and this session, we levelled the field for every New Mexican. Learn more here: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bro…

Quantum technology could transform everything from materials science to medicine — and New Mexico is leading the way. With more than $100 million invested and strong partners like the University of New Mexico, the future of this trillion-dollar industry is taking shape here.

📚 Big wins for New Mexico kids! This week, I signed four education bills into law, targeting literacy, math, and special education. The new laws require structured literacy instruction in K–3, early math screening, higher math standards for teacher licenses, and makes the Office of Special Education permanent. New Mexico's reading scores have already climbed 10 percentage points since 2022. Let’s keep building on that progress and make sure it reaches every New Mexico classroom. #NewMexicoEducation #MathEducation #SpecialEducation #LiteracyMatters

I signed this budget as a commitment to New Mexico’s long-term success and a promise to keep moving our state upward. Notable budget items include: •$300 million for major higher education projects •$255 million for water and natural resource initiatives •$210 million for transportation programs and projects •$175 million for statewide housing and homelessness initiatives •$160 million for year one of universal child care Learn more here: tinyurl.com/cfepfphm

Earlier this week I signed a proclamation declaring March as Reading Month in New Mexico! 📚 Joined by educators from NEA-New Mexico and some of our brightest young readers sharing the books they love, I was reminded how much this work matters. Reading is the foundation of all learning. The High-Quality Literacy Instruction Act is now the law of the land in New Mexico — ensuring every student has access to proven, science-based reading instruction. Happy Reading Month, New Mexico. Now go pick up a book! 🌟 #ReadingMonth #NMEducation #StructuredLiteracy #NewMexico

Today, was a great — and historic — day! That’s because I signed Universal Child Care into law surrounded by parents, children, early childcare education specialists and lawmakers. When parents are guaranteed no-cost child care, they can improve their family’s quality of life, fully engage in the workforce, and contribute to our state’s economy. Families shouldn’t have to choose between paying rent or paying for child care, and as of today, they no longer will. Read more here: tinyurl.com/bdhre2y3

Had a great time watching the trailblazing Wilson sisters and Heart rock the the Rio Rancho Events Center last night! Nancy Wilson graciously gifted me their setlist afterward. It was magic, man! 😜 🤘
