Later that same day, she referenced a recent discussion with Utah Governor Spencer Cox at Notre Dame University: "In case you missed the live feed on Friday, head over to my YouTube page to watch: 'Pragmatism Over Polarization' with Utah Governor Spencer Cox and myself hosted by Notre Dame University.

On September 22, 2025, Governor Lujan Grisham addressed the high cost of child care nationwide while announcing a significant policy change in New Mexico: "Child care can cost families up to $1,100 a month—but not in #NewMexico.

Universal child care has been a major policy goal in New Mexico under Governor Lujan Grisham’s administration. The initiative aims to reduce financial burdens on families and improve early childhood education outcomes across the state.

Governor Lujan Grisham’s engagement in public discussions such as “Pragmatism Over Polarization” reflects ongoing efforts among some state leaders to promote civil discourse amid national political divides.
