On Monday, Speaker @JavierForNM & legislative leaders warned against proceeding with flawed bills in a special session.
“We have deep concerns about the potential impact these proposals will have on New Mexicans, especially the most vulnerable among us.” kunm.org/local-news/2024-07-…

We must get all hands on deck to transform the behavioral health system. "Despite major investments, the state still has poor outcomes, particularly for young people." When it takes on average 10 phone calls to get 1 BH appointment, the system is broken. #nmleg @nmpol
New Mexico has slowly added badly-needed behavioral health providers in recent years, but much of that growth has been in a network that no longer serves Medicaid patients, a state analyst told lawmakers this week.

While SB3's defeat in the House, with a vote of 34-36, is disheartening, our determination remains steadfast. Let's extend our appreciation to the legislators who upheld PFML and continue our quest with renewed vigor. #NMPFML #nmleg #nmpol #ThankYouLegislators

🩺 Gender affirming medical care is evidence-based and life-saving. Trans and nonbinary individuals deserve the same chance to thrive as their peers.

Let's be very clear: nobody wants to testify before someone who's groped them.
This is why we're calling on the resignation of NM State Senator @IveySoto. 9 brave women have come forward demanding accountability for his heinous and inappropriate behavior.
