New Mexico First engages people in important issues facing the state. Co-founded in 1986 by Senators Pete Domenici (R-NM) and Jeff Bingaman (D-NM), we are best known for our unique town halls. These three-day events bring together citizens from all walks of life to share their best ideas and develop consensus-driven recommendations for policymakers.
