The State Action Committee is beginning to review issues that might arise in the 2025 session of the New Mexico Legislature. That includes everything from environmental issues involving water to health care and housing. The Action Committee focuses only on issues before the NM Legislature. Hannah Burling who has been the state co-president for the past four years will be our speaker. She is one of the League’s primary lobbyists.

For new members who might not be familiar with how league priorities and lobbying works, the first step is the Action Committee. Any member can join the Action Committee email list on the state website here. The Action Committee decides which bills to follow and which bills to lobby lawmakers to support. The bills we support must be in some alignment with our local, state, or national positions. The local and state positions can be found in your member handbook as well as on our websites. The national positions are on the LWVUS website.

If you are interested in an issue that isn’t covered in any of our positions, you can propose a study of the issue at the Program Planning meeting on January 25th. If you can develop some support among other members that agree you can form a study committee and begin learning about the issue. One of the terrific things about the League of Women Voters is the way we study issues before we take a stand on them. That gives us time to look at all sides of a problem before making a decision.

Hannah will be happy to talk about how the League sets priorities and how you can become more involved.
