Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham has recently addressed a range of issues on her social media account, including economic concerns related to tariffs, an expression of sympathy for Minnesota following a tragedy, and praise for New Mexico State Police officers after a successful intervention in Luna County.

On August 25, 2025, Governor Lujan Grisham commented on the impact of tariffs on families preparing for the school year. She stated, "New Mexico parents are reeling from tariff-induced back-to-school sticker shock. Of course, consumers ultimately bear the cost of Trump’s tariffs through higher prices on imported goods, as companies typically pass these additional fees onto shoppers. Are we tired of winning yet?" This remark reflects ongoing national debates about the economic effects of U.S. trade policies and how tariffs can result in increased consumer prices.

Two days later, on August 27, 2025, she expressed condolences following an incident in Minnesota: "Our hearts are with the people of Minnesota in the face of this terrible tragedy."

Later that same day, Governor Lujan Grisham commended law enforcement officers for their actions in Luna County: "The rapid response of @NMStatePolice in Luna County saved a young life and ensured an alleged abductor is behind bars. Thank you to these officers for their bravery and commitment." The governor’s recognition comes amid broader discussions about public safety efforts and community trust in law enforcement.

Michelle Lujan Grisham is serving as Governor of New Mexico since January 2019. Her administration has frequently engaged with state and national issues via social media platforms.
