New Mexico Democratic Convention
|
|
The Democratic Party of New Mexico recently came together for our official nominating convention in Roswell. The campaign season is now in full swing, and it's so important that Democrats come together to win up and down the ballot.
At this year's convention, Gov. Lujan Grisham urged Democratic voters to show up at the polls to support all of our incredible candidates.

Cannabis Is Now in Stores
|
|
Adult-use cannabis is officially for sale in New Mexico! The first weekend of adult-use sales totaled a massive $5.2 million – more than even neighboring Colorado's opening weekend sales. Gov. Lujan Grisham is proud to have led the way on legalizing adult-use cannabis and to have overseen such a successful and record-breaking opening day.
This is an incredible win for New Mexico's economy. The new adult-use cannabis industry will continue to create more revenue and new jobs for our state.

Protect Reproductive Rights
|
|
In recent months, many of our neighboring states, like Texas, have passed radical anti-abortion laws. Now Oklahoma has joined their ranks, passing a near-total ban on abortions. With a far-right majority on the U.S. Supreme Court, it's never been more important for Governors to protect the right to choose.
That's why last year, Gov. Lujan Grisham signed Senate Bill 10, which repealed a state statute from 1969 that criminalized abortion. Even as Republicans launch more attacks against our reproductive rights, Gov. Lujan Grisham will always defend the right to choose.

Free Higher Education for Everyone
|
|
Gov. Lujan Grisham has made affordable, high-quality education a key pillar of her work as Governor. Just last month, she was proud to sign legislation making higher education tuition-free for everyone in New Mexico – regardless of citizenship status or age.
This law is a critical step forward in Gov. Lujan Grisham's efforts to provide relief, support, and opportunities for working families in our state.
