With just six weeks till election day, we encourage you to find out where your candidates stand on Think New Mexico's policy proposals to address the health care worker shortageπŸ₯! Here are some examples of policies you might ask about:

2. Would you oppose any attempts to roll back the medical malpractice reforms? 

3. Would you support tax reforms for health care workers?

The Payne Stewart Award, presented by Southern Company, is given annually to a player whose β€œvalues align with the character, charitable mindset, and sportsmanship that Stewart showed.” Each year’s recipient demonstrates these qualities in their own unique ways.
It's clear. People don't have confidence in the U. It's clear. People don't have confidence in the U.S. school system. In fact, only 32% of American adults say they are completely or somewhat satisfied with the U.S. school system, according to a recent Gallup poll.
