On September 2, 2025, Governor Lujan Grisham highlighted the significance of a state fair in capturing New Mexico’s cultural identity: "From the green chile cheeseburgers to the traditional crafts showcasing our rich cultural heritage, this fair perfectly captures the spirit of the Land of Enchantment. The rodeo is incredible and the local art displays are absolutely stunning. Nothing beats those beautiful autumn https://t.co/tNzUa3HxHi".

The following day, on September 3, she addressed criminal justice issues by stating: "I think Democrats ought to be tough on crime. But being tough on crime does not mean that you are breaching people's constitutional rights, like free speech."

On September 4, Governor Lujan Grisham expressed concern about a proposed rule by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), writing: "Our veterans fought for our freedoms. The VA’s proposed abortion rule strips away theirs.
