On March 2, the Greater Albuquerque Chamber of Commerce held a luncheon with Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham, as reported by the Albuquerque Journal. During the event, Lujan Grisham discussed potential increased state involvement in transitional housing programs for individuals experiencing homelessness. She highlighted that $110 million has been allocated in this year's budget bill for transitional housing and homelessness initiatives.

Terri Cole, president and CEO of the Greater Albuquerque Chamber of Commerce (GACC), expressed support for several legislative measures. These include Senate Bill 70, which aims to amend the state's Racketeering Act to incorporate offenses such as criminal exploitation of children. The Chamber also backs various bills designed to enhance penalties for felons found in possession of firearms.

Cole outlined additional goals for the Chamber, including reducing tax burdens, strengthening public education, and attracting medical professionals to New Mexico. "Competition is a choice, and in New Mexico’s case, it will require leaders to prioritize and address a set of serious challenges that currently put our state at a competitive disadvantage," she stated.
