State statements
Taxes No. 01/12
New Mexico should eliminate its personal income tax.
Background New Mexico taxes personal income at graduated rates, and the tax is one of the state's main revenue sources along with the gross receipts tax and oil and gas revenue. Eliminating it would cut taxes for earners and require other revenue or spending changes.
There [are] a lot of people who can afford to pay income tax in our state, right? I mean, we have a lot of rich folks

Energy and climate No. 02/12
New Mexico should speed up state permits for new oil and gas wells.
Background New Mexico is one of the largest oil-producing states, and oil and gas revenue pays for a large share of the state budget. Faster state permitting would shorten review times for new drilling on state and private land.

Abortion No. 03/12
New Mexico should stop using state funds to help patients from other states get abortions.
Background Abortion is legal in New Mexico at all stages, and many patients travel from neighboring states that ban it. State money currently supports some reproductive health services and clinics that serve those patients.

Right now our state funds out-of-state parties coming in to pay for those procedures here in the state. I don't think our taxpayers should be paying for that.

Immigration No. 04/12
New Mexico should allow counties to contract with the federal government to hold immigration detainees.
Background A 2026 state law bars counties and other public bodies from contracting with ICE to detain immigrants, affecting facilities in three counties. The U.S. Justice Department has sued to block the law, and enforcement is on hold during the case.

Housing No. 05/12
New Mexico should use money from its permanent land grant fund to pay for housing.
Background New Mexico's Land Grant Permanent Fund holds tens of billions of dollars from state land revenue and pays a set share each year to schools and other beneficiaries. Using it for housing would require a new distribution or change in how the fund is spent.

Guns No. 06/12
New Mexico should ban the sale of semi-automatic rifles defined as assault weapons.
Background New Mexico does not ban any category of semi-automatic rifle, though it has a waiting period and background checks for most gun sales. Bills to ban sales of these rifles have been introduced in the Legislature but have not passed.

Energy and climate No. 07/12
New Mexico should increase state spending on water supply projects to cope with drought.
Background New Mexico faces long-term drought and falling river and groundwater supplies, and the state funds some water projects each year. More money would pay for storage, reuse and delivery projects.

Taxes No. 08/12
New Mexico should lower its statewide gross receipts tax rate.
Background New Mexico taxes most sales of goods and services through its gross receipts tax, which has been cut in small steps in recent years. A lower rate would reduce costs for buyers and businesses and cut state revenue.
expand the Child Tax Credit and Working Families Tax Credit, and reduce GRT so we can lower housing and healthcare costs.

revenues from the production should be explored for possible reduction of gross receipts and personal income taxes. In doing so, we must make sure local revenues for cities, towns, and counties are not adversely affected.

Education No. 09/12
New Mexico should keep providing free child care to all families regardless of income.
Background Since November 2025 New Mexico has paid for child care for all families, funded largely by a permanent early childhood trust fund. Adding income limits would lower state costs and end aid for higher-earning families.
My dad hated when you said free anything — someone's paying for it — but it's something that we want to pay for because we know it will move our state forward

Democracy and elections No. 10/12
New Mexico should require voters to show photo ID when voting in person.
Background New Mexico lets in-person voters identify themselves without showing a photo ID. This would make a photo ID a condition of casting a ballot at the polls.
When you go to register to vote, you prove your identity. You shouldn't have to keep proving it over and over again.

Health care No. 11/12
New Mexico should use state money to keep Medicaid coverage if federal funding falls.
Background About a third of New Mexicans are covered by Medicaid, and 2025 federal law will reduce federal Medicaid funding in coming years. Using state money would keep more people covered and require other budget trade-offs.
We have more at stake in New Mexico than almost any other state, and more to lose from cuts and consolidations happening now.

Immigration No. 12/12
New Mexico should let state police help federal agents enforce immigration law.
Background New Mexico limits state resources for federal immigration enforcement. This would allow state police to assist federal immigration agents, for example through a 287(g) agreement.
In New Mexico, we are lucky that the state and localities worked to lawfully pass legislation to protect New Mexicans and their families from ICE.
