Today, Gov. Lujan Grisham announced that she will call the Legislature back into special session to extend state-funded food benefits to New Mexicans as the federal government shutdown continues. Using food as political leverage during a shutdown is not OK, and the NM legislature is ready to act.

NM Senate & House Democratic Leaders sent a letter calling on Sec. Rollins and the Trump Administration to ensure families across our state and country can keep food on their tables. The Administration has both the authority and the obligation to maintain these benefits, even during a shutdown.
