We support efforts to expand and increase the economic opportunities available to all New Mexicans, as many of our neighboring states have done alongside a strong oil and natural gas sector.
New Mexico’s oil and gas industry is proud to be the foundation of the state’s economy, providing thousands of jobs across our state and supporting the budget and public schools with billions in revenue. Teachers and students in every county and corner of our state depend on the industry for the resources they need to teach and learn, and we’re committed to doing our part to see that New Mexico’s kids have the opportunities to be successful in the classroom and beyond.
This industry is poised to grow well into the future as long as policymakers in Santa Fe and Washington prioritize policies that allow us to develop the abundant energy resources we have here at home rather than outsourcing them abroad.
