SANTA FE – Ahead of the opening of the 2021 Legislative Session, New Mexico Senate Republican leaders today released the following statement:

"This session is an opportunity to repair the damage done to New Mexico and put us back on the road to recovery. We are committed to taking actionable steps to fix our state and move us forward. This means getting our children back in school, assisting our local small businesses, standing by our energy economy, and defending the most vulnerable."

"The COVID-19 pandemic not only worsened the hardships many families were already facing, but it also exposed the chronic failures of bad governance. It is time for a new era. We need more than band aid solutions. Together, we are committed to curing the deep-rooted policy issues that continue to plague our state."
