Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham, the chief executive of New Mexico, used her social media platform this week to highlight policy achievements in child care, climate action, and food assistance programs. Through a series of posts made between November 7 and November 8, 2025, she addressed key initiatives affecting families across the state.
On November 7, Governor Lujan Grisham wrote: "What a week for hope scrolling — New Mexico’s proving what’s possible when we put people first. @NewMexicoECECD #UniversalChildCare https://t.co/caRfodEWbV". The mention of "@NewMexicoECECD" refers to the New Mexico Early Childhood Education and Care Department, which administers early childhood programs in the state.
The following day, on November 8, she highlighted progress on environmental goals: "Climate action is delivering results: U.S. Climate Alliance states have cut emissions 24% since 2005. @JayInslee @GovEvers @USClimate https://t.co/uiCUElJvML". The U.S. Climate Alliance is a bipartisan coalition of governors committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions consistent with the goals of the Paris Agreement.
Later that same day, Governor Lujan Grisham addressed nutrition assistance benefits for residents: "New Mexicans will receive full November SNAP benefits. Yesterday, after receiving guidance from the USDA, New Mexico sent full November SNAP benefits to all eligible New Mexicans. We won’t stand by while the President works to deny food to hungry children, families and seniors https://t.co/KpfvHCdO49". The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) provides financial support for low-income individuals and families to purchase food.
These statements reflect ongoing policy efforts within New Mexico under Governor Lujan Grisham's administration. Universal child care has been an area of focus in recent years as states seek to improve access for working families. Additionally, New Mexico's participation in national coalitions such as the U.S. Climate Alliance signals its commitment to environmental stewardship and reducing carbon emissions over time. Recent actions concerning SNAP benefits come amid broader national debates regarding federal nutrition assistance policies.
