Make-A-Wish New Mexico Kids Giving Back
Make-A-Wish New Mexico News:
For the first time in Make-A-Wish New Mexico’s 40-year history, it is working to grant two wishes to give back to the community at the same time, through the generosity of two wish kids.

Those five areas include:
- I wish to go;
- I wish to be;

Republican Party Of New Mexico Issues Statement About ‘No Kings’ Protests Happening Today Across State & Nation
From the Republican Party of New Mexico:
Across New Mexico, protests are being organized under the banner of “No Kings,” but many New Mexicans are left wondering, what exactly does this movement stand for? Are they uniting Marxists? Supporting communism, Antifa, or even Hamas? Are they calling for anarchy?
Whatever the message behind these protests may be, it stands in stark contrast to what President Donald J. Trump has been doing for this country, putting America and Americans first. For the first time in modern history, we have a president who prioritizes the people over the political elite, Read More
