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. Here in New Mexico, we CAN do better for our students and we have a chance to make a difference! πŸ™Œ

New Mexico, you can make your voice heard on how we can help reform New Mexico's education system, that way we can truly make our public schools world class! 🌎🏫

Yes, New Mexico has a health care worker shortageπŸ“‰. But don't just take it from us. Take it from the countless number of New Mexicans who have voiced their concerns about lengthy wait times or those who have said they have had to travel out-of-state to receive the care they need. πŸ₯

The bottom line: We have a shortage. But together, we can work together to strengthen laws that will not only attract new providers, but also keep the ones we currently have. πŸ‘©β€βš•οΈπŸ‘¨β€βš•οΈ

37 states require students to earn civics credits in order to graduate from high school.
