New Mexico First is now closed.

This is an archival website.

New Mexico First built consensus on critical issues facing our state and communities and led positive policy change through deliberative town halls, forums, and nonpartisan work on education, the economy, health, natural resources and good government.

The organization was co-founded in 1986 by U.S. Senator Jeff Bingaman (retired) and the late U.S. Senator Pete Domenici. New Mexico First was a 501(c)(3).
