Why can't our state follow New Mexico's lead? They are showing REAL leadership.

To: Rep. Claggett, Sen. Schaffer, Gov. DeWine

From: A verified voter in Reynoldsburg, OH

March 12

While Trump destroys everything he touches, New Mexico is building. Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham signed the nation’s first universal no-cost child care law this week, making New Mexico the only state with both free child care and tuition-free college. Since launching in November, more than 12,600 families and 16,700 children have enrolled. And there’s already up to $700 million allocated through 2031 to sustain it all. Lujan Grisham said: “Families shouldn’t have to choose between paying rent or paying for child care. As of today, they no longer will.” The governor also quietly signed a law making it a felony to deploy any troops or armed agents to polling places—a bill that was fast-tracked after Trump called for nationalizing elections and sued New Mexico over its voter rolls. No press conference or PR stunt, just real resistance on the books.
