Meeting with the New Mexico Academy of Anesthesiologist Assistants (NMAAA). Our numbers in New Mexico are up since we passed the legislation that I cosponsored to support this hardworking group of medical professionals. @NMDEMS @NMHouseDems @NMSenateDems @senpadilla #nmpol #nmleg #nmlegis

Touring communities throughout Central New Mexico to discuss transportation priorities for the upcoming legislative session. I’m grateful for the opportunity to have secured transportation infrastructure funding for major projects in District 14, including the new Rio Bravo Bridge, the six-phase reconstruction of Isleta Boulevard, and the replacement of the I-25/Rio Bravo interchange. While these investments are making a difference, there is still significant work ahead to improve our local and collector streets. @NMSenateDems @NMDEMS @NMHouseDems @senpadilla #nmpol #nmleg #nmlegis

I attended the New Mexico Mortgage Finance Authority meeting this week. New Mexico is headed in the right direction on housing, but has so much work to do. I was proud to sponsor and pass legislation to exempt GRT on housing supplies and labor and to cosponsor legislation called the Opportunity Enterprise Act for infrastructure for workforce housing. These measures are helping to move our housing crisis in the right direction. @senpadilla @NMSenateDems @NMHouseDems @NMDEMS #nmpol #nmleg #nmlegis

Thank you to everyone who joined us for a fantastic breakfast in support of Deb Haaland, our candidate for Governor. We were thrilled by the outstanding turnout and the energy in the room.

Together, we continue building a stronger future for our community. @senpadilla @NMSenateDems @NMDEMS @NMHouseDems #nmpol #nmleg #nmlegis

Happy to support my friend, senator Antonio Maestas and the Maesters! This annual event has become a great way to bring people together and help raise money to reelect a hard working public servant.

Proud to be the speaker at the recent naturalization ceremony for 76 new American citizens. Especially proud of Erika Herrera, my mother in law, for her hard work, persistence and love for America. @senpadilla @NMSenateDems @nmhouse @NMDEMS #nmpol #nmleg #nmlegis

Amazing 2026 Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta. Had the privilege of attending the special shapes glodeo with my honey Valeria Padilla. Good food, good friends and good times. @NMSenateDems @NMHouseDems @NMDEMS #nmleg #nmpol #nmlegis

I'm proud to announce that all of our hard work to create a quantum economy in New Mexico is finally coming together. After a trade mission to Japan last year, 27 meetings and a lot of planning by many people we have signed a 3 year memorandum of understanding to bring Fujitsu to New Mexico! @NMSenateDems @SenPadilla @NMHouseDems @NMDEMS #nmpol #nmleg #nmlegis

New Mexico Business Thursday - Proofed Bread Company on Las Cruces, NM. Owned and operated by Jeremiah and Lisa Richardson. Jeremiah brings years of culinary training and a deep passion for breadmaking, while Lisa brings her own creativity and heart for community into every part of the bakery. Together, they’ve built a place where locals can gather, connect, and enjoy bread made with time, care, and tradition. Just like me, Las Cruces City Councilor John P. Munoz supports New Mexico businesses and introduced me to this great business. @senpadilla @NMSenateDems @NMHouseDems @NMDEMS #nmpol #nmleg #nmlegis

It was a great couple of days chairing New Mexico Finance Authority Act Oversight committee in Sunland Park, New Mexico. We were able to visit La Clinica, Familia, reviewed agency proposed legislation and did some good planning to continue addressing our housing crisis. @senpadilla @NMSenateDems @NMHouseDems @NMDEMS #nmpol #nmleg #nmlegis

Congratulations to our new Senate Democratic Leadership team. I chose not to run for re-election as majority whip. I look forward to working with this group as we go into the next legislative session. @senpadilla @NMSenateDems @NMHouseDems @NMDEMS #nmpol #nmleg #nmlegis

It's almost here. Our South Valley Economic Development Center has developed a South Valley first of its kind food processing plant that will help local farmers and ranchers bring there fruits and vegetables to the market faster and provide our public schools with significantly healthier options for the lunch table. When I sponsored the legislation to provide free universal healthy breakfast and lunch, I added the word healthy, and this is exactly what I hoped would happen. @senpadilla @NMSenateDems @NMHouseDems @NMDEMS #nmpol #nmleg #nmlegis

It's always great to get together with these old friends. We were discussing a major housing project that will help with both affordability and quality of life in the southern portion of my senate district. @senpadilla @NMSenateDems @NMHouseDems @NMDEMS #nmpol #nmleg #nmlegis

New Mexico Business Tuesday - Padilla's New Mexican Kitchen. We're never sure if we're related, but the food sure is good. If you've never tried it, now's the time. It's better than ever. Located at 1510 Girard Blvd NE in Albuquerque. @senpadilla @NMSenateDems @NMHouseDems @NMDEMS #nmpol #nmleg #nmlegis
