New Mexico First engages people in important issues facing the state. Co-founded in 1986 by Senators Pete Domenici (R-NM) and Jeff Bingaman (D-NM), we are best known for our unique town halls. These three-day events bring together citizens from all walks of life to share their best ideas and develop consensus-driven recommendations for policymakers.

Is bipartisanship a thing of the past? Speakers at the First Forum will talk from the national perspective about the condition of our democracy, cross-party collaboration, and strategies for bringing Americans together without watering down our beliefs. Moderated by ABC Newsman Sam Donaldson, the event takes place June 30.
