MEXICO-NEW MEXICO ADVOCACY DAY
House Memorial 9 declares January 21, 2026, as "Mexico-New Mexico Advocacy Day" to recognize the cultural, economic, and trade ties between New Mexico and Mexico. The memorial highlights Mexico as New Mexico’s top trading partner (with $7 billion in exports in 2024) and emphasizes shared Hispanic/Latino heritage, border commerce, and collaboration with the Albuquerque Mexican consulate. It does not create new laws or programs but symbolically celebrates existing partnerships. The resolution was passed by the New Mexico House of Representatives and directs the memorial to be shared with the Mexican consulate and state leadership.
