The Official Bluesky Account for the New Mexico Democratic Senate Majority Caucus
The New Mexico Senate is now in session. Today we gather to consider legislation that will ensure everyone in the state who relies on the SNAP program will see their benefits continue uninterrupted.

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.

The Senate has passed (34-3) HB 2: HEALTH CARE COVERAGE CHANGES. Healthcare is a right, not a privilege. While Washington strips away protections and premiums skyrocket, New Mexico is expanding access and ensuring no family pays more than they can afford for coverage
October 2, 2025 at 7:20 PM
The Senate has passed (25-13) HB 1, the Special Session budget bill, appropriating critical funding to increase food assistance, protect access to affordable healthcare, support public broadcasting, and safeguard jobs across NM threatened by federal funding cuts.

On October 1st,  New Mexico lawmakers go into Special Session to help protect your access to healthcare and other critical services.

Republicans just voted to rip away healthcare from millions, close rural hospitals and take away critical food assistance to enrich billionaires while exploding the national debt. The impacts to NM could be devastating, but we stand ready to fight for everyone who calls this great state home.
