Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham has recently used her social media platform to address several community and state initiatives in New Mexico, including transportation safety, economic development, and local clean-up efforts.
On November 18, 2025, Governor Lujan Grisham acknowledged the work of transportation employees as winter weather approached. She posted: "Shoutout to our @NMDOT District 5 crew near Tres Piedras and all our hardworking transportation employees. More #snow is expected this week, so let’s all do our part. Drive cautiously and plan ahead. #NewMexico

Later that day, she highlighted New Mexico's ongoing role in national defense and innovation with a focus on job creation and technological advancement. In her post she stated: "New Mexico has always been front and center in shaping the frontiers of American defense and innovation. This project helps carry that legacy forward — creating high-paying jobs, advancing national security and proving once again that #NewMexico is where bold ideas take flight."
On November 19, 2025, Governor Lujan Grisham encouraged public participation in a local clean-up event scheduled for November 22 in Albuquerque’s International District. She wrote: "New Mexico’s got the looks — now let’s make sure she’s holiday photo ready.
Come out to our Breaking Bad Habits Clean Up on Saturday, Nov. 22 in the International District.

Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham serves as the chief executive of New Mexico since January 2019. The New Mexico Department of Transportation (NMDOT), referenced in her first post, is responsible for maintaining state roads and ensuring safe travel conditions during inclement weather such as snowstorms.
The governor's emphasis on national defense innovation reflects New Mexico's historical involvement with military research facilities like Los Alamos National Laboratory and White Sands Missile Range—sites that have played significant roles in U.S. scientific advancement and defense strategy.
The International District in Albuquerque has seen various community-led beautification projects over recent years aimed at improving neighborhood conditions through volunteer-driven events such as clean-ups.
