The following day, she turned her attention to early childhood education and community support. On November 9, 2025, she posted: "After 25 years in childcare, Rita Bee from Gallup has seen firsthand how quality early childhood education shapes lives. Childcare centers are community pillars that give children an excellent start, free parents to work, and strengthen local economies.

Later that same day, Governor Lujan Grisham shared details about international engagement with Icelandic officials: "Last week, Lt. Governor Howie Morales and my staff met with Icelandic Ambassador Svanhildur Hólm Valsdóttir and Trade Commissioner Einar Hansen Tomasson as part of an ongoing collaboration between the Land of Ice and Fire and the Land of Enchantment.

New Mexico is recognized for its longstanding multilingual heritage rooted in centuries-old traditions among Hispanic, Anglo, and Native American populations. The state has prioritized language preservation through educational initiatives such as bilingual programs in public schools.
Early childhood education has been a policy focus for Governor Lujan Grisham’s administration. In recent years, New Mexico expanded access to childcare subsidies so all families can benefit regardless of income level—a move designed to support working parents while investing in child development.
International outreach remains part of New Mexico’s economic strategy as state leaders seek partnerships abroad to foster trade opportunities and cultural exchange.
