Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham has recently highlighted notable achievements and opportunities in New Mexico through a series of posts on her official social media account. Her messages include recognition for Santa Fe, commendation of a local mountaineer, and promotion of a law enforcement recruitment initiative.
On October 16, 2025, Governor Lujan Grisham shared news about Santa Fe's national recognition: "#SantaFe does it again! For the third straight year, readers of Condé Nast Traveler have named our capital the No. 2 Best Small City in the U.S., trailing only Charleston, S.C. Santa Fe’s culture, history and beauty continue to captivate travelers worldwide."
Two days later, on October 17, she celebrated the accomplishment of Duke Pigott: "Duke Pigott’s journey to the top of every continent — guitar in hand — shows the world what New Mexicans are made of. Congratulations on completing the Seven Summits!"
On October 18, Governor Lujan Grisham promoted a recruitment event aimed at women interested in law enforcement careers: "Ready to explore a career with the New Mexico State Police? I’m looking for you! Join the Strong-Her Together Tour, an eight-session, hands-on academy giving women a behind-the-scenes look into law enforcement. Build confidence, gain practical skills, connect with New Mexico"
Santa Fe's repeated high ranking by Condé Nast Traveler underscores its reputation as a destination known for its unique blend of culture and history. The city has consistently been recognized by various travel publications for its appeal to both domestic and international visitors.
Duke Pigott's achievement—completing the Seven Summits while carrying his guitar—highlights both individual determination and community pride within New Mexico. The Seven Summits challenge involves climbing the highest peak on each continent.
The Strong-Her Together Tour reflects ongoing efforts by state leaders to increase diversity within law enforcement ranks and provide women with access to training and career development opportunities in policing.
