The Senate Finance Committee passed 6-5 Michelle Lujan Grisham’s radical pro-election fraud S.B. 8, which allows for unsecured drop boxes, ballot harvesting, and other corrosive measures that some opponents said would “turn New Mexico into the wild west of voter fraud.” Democrat Sen. George Muñoz, the chairman of the committee, voted with all the Republicans against the bill.
It now goes before the full Senate for consideration. Democrat Leader Peter Wirth (D-Santa Fe) promised during the Thursday committee that the bill would not go to the Senate floor on Friday. Therefore, New Mexicans must lookout for a possible Saturday vote on the bill. Contact your senator by finding them here to oppose S.B. 8.
The House Consumer and Public Affairs Committee passed H.B. 43 on a 3-2 vote. It would allow youths who are sentenced for violent crimes, including murder, to be released in 15 years despite life sentences. State Rep. Liz Thomson (D-Bernalillo) voted for it despite victims of violent crime “begging” her not to support it. Reps. Joanne Ferrary (D-Bernalillo) and Andrea Romero (D-Santa Fe) both supported the radical bill while Reps. Stefani Lord (R-Sandia Park) and Randall Pettigrew (R-Lea) voted against it.
Bills to watch out for on Friday:
URGENT: H.B. 6, the “Clean Future Act” by Rep. Nathan Small (D-Doña Ana)
This radical bill would further cripple energy producers in New Mexico by mandating the Environmental Improvement Board adopt rules that would force the reduction of “greenhouse gas emissions.”
“by 2030, statewide direct emissions of greenhouse gases shall not exceed fifty percent of 2005 levels; and by 2050, total statewide greenhouse gas emissions shall achieve at least net-zero emissions; provided that total statewide direct emissions of greenhouse gases shall not exceed ten percent of 2005 levels in 2050 or any subsequent year,” the bill reads. The bill is supported by enviro-Marxist organizations including the Sierra Club, Olé, ProgressNow New Mexico, among others.
The extremist bill will be heard in the House Government, Elections, and Indian Affairs Committee on Friday at 8:30 a.m. It is currently the third item on the committee’s agenda. The Zoom details are below:

H.J.R. 2, the “Environmental Rights” amendment by Reps. Joanne Ferrary (D-Doña Ana) and Tara Lujan (D-Santa Fe)
This radical bill would enshrine “environmental rights” in the New Mexico Constitution, which would, in effect, put the final nail in the energy industry’s coffin — the fund which provides for most state funds for hospitals and schools, not to mention jobs. This bill was proposed last legislative session and the Piñon Post helped it die before it could reach final passage.
It will be heard on Friday in the House Judiciary Committee at 1:30 p.m. Zoom details are below:
