New Mexico County Clerks Election Integrity PSAs

County clerks, county clerk staff, and election administrators recorded public service announcements in the summer of 2023 to inform New Mexico voters about the integrity and safety of our elections and the importance of each person’s vote. Election officials manage our elections conscientiously according to rules and regulations. The PSAs are the product of continuing work New Mexico First is coordinating with a network of partners to build trust and confidence in New Mexico elections.

Resilience in New Mexico Agriculture

In 2016, thirteen regional meetings were held with diverse stakeholders across the state and community members identified several agriculture-related issues. Following these meetings, a background report was published, and an Agricultural Resilience Task Force of industry leaders and experts was assembled to develop solutions. The Resilience in New Mexico Agriculture Strategic Plan was the result of the Task Force’s work. The implementation of this plan is critical to achieve greater agricultural and natural resource resiliency and ensure stability for the next generations of farmers and ranchers.

New Mexico Democracy Project

The New Mexico Democracy Project was an initiative led by a coalition of organizations, businesses and individuals including New Mexico First, the New Mexico Chamber of Commerce, the New Mexico Local News Fund, New Mexico Open Elections and New Mexico Public Broadcasting Service. The coalition’s work embraced activities intended to build trust in our elections and our candidates leading up to the general election in November 2022.
