Infrastructure brings jobs and opportunity to our state

Infrastructure brings jobs and opportunity to the people of our state. I'm calling for $128 million in water infrastructure improvements, $146 million in statewide broadband expansion, and updates to the New Mexico Film Tax Credit so we can attract even more businesses and redouble our investments in critical workforce development and job training programs. New Mexicans are the best workers in the country, and we are creating the conditions that bring them lifelong careers. Source: 2023 State of the State Address to the N.M. legislature , Jan 19, 2023

Boost state spending to local businesses

We will fix and improve on the Small Business Recovery Act, unlocking more than $200 million in direct relief for small businesses, and 200 million more specifically for business rent relief. We will remake our state procurement code to boost minority- and Native- and women-owned businesses, and to ensure more New Mexico dollars are spent with New Mexican-owned companies. We will continue to invest in the state job-creation programs that work. Source: 2021 State of the State Address to New Mexico legislature , Jan 26, 2021
