Great player & better kid! Happy for Joey Ortiz stud 3rd baseman of @Brewers & @NMStateBaseball star! Couldn’t get in the stadium during COVID so I let him and Nick Gonzales in 🤦🏽‍♂️ NCAA Tournament & Hall of Fame pic along w/ @AddieMoccia2026 (whose pic is that behind Nick) 🤷🏽‍♂️🤣
Joey Ortiz becomes the first Aggie to play in a World Series and immediately makes an impact!💪 #AggieUp | #ProAggies

On January 6, 1912, New Mexico became the 47th state in the U.S. New Mexicans know our history goes back hundreds and thousands of years though, predating most other states. Happy Birthday to the best state in the country! #NewMexico

As we near the end of 2025, my heart is full of gratitude for this beautiful state we call home and for the incredible people who've supported me on this journey. Thank you, from my family to yours, for the kindness, encouragement, and trust you've shown. 🙏🏽 With over 30 years in public service, from city council to county commission to 16 years as mayor of Las Cruces, I've been blessed to work alongside Democrats, Republicans, and independents to get real results: revitalized downtowns, balanced budgets without tax hikes, safer streets, more affordable housing, and higher graduation rates. But there's still so much more we can do together for all of New Mexico. I’m focused on practical solutions: cracking down on repeat offenders to keep communities safe, reforming medical malpractice laws (building on SB523) to bring doctors back and ensure local care for our kids and seniors, helping those experiencing homelessness get back on their feet with dignity, and building more homes to ease the burden on working families. I can't do any of this without being on the June ballot first. It takes just 30 seconds to add your signature, please click the link below and lend your support. Your support means everything. Let's head into 2026 stronger, together. God bless you all. With deepest gratitude, Ken Gallegos Miyagishima electronicpetitions.election…

I need a favor! A rather tiny one- There is so much I can to to help NM rise above our problems- BUT I can’t do any of it if I’m not on the ballot next June! So please take 30 seconds to click below and add me to the ballot! I am the only Democrat running for Governor who: —Will crack down on crime and insist that repeat offenders serve time. —Will reform our Medical Malpractice laws that are driving our doctors out of NM. —Has a plan to help the Homeless get back on their feet. —Who will reduce the cost of new homes. I’ll make these things happen if I am your next Governor. BUT FIRST- I need your signature to get on the ballot. Please take 30 seconds to add your name and sign your support using the link below. It would be my greatest honor to serve you as Governor.
