What happened
Susan Coulter called for legislative reform in New Mexico on September 20, 2026. Coulter noted that the state ranks near or at the bottom in several areas, including school performance and the rate of childhood poverty. She argued that the state should consider using part of its $75 billion sovereign wealth fund to benefit the residents of New Mexico.
Why it matters
Coulter suggested that the state's current structure, including unpaid legislators and short annual sessions, contributes to challenges in passing meaningful legislation. She advocated for electing paid legislators to allow for the in-depth analysis required to manage the sovereign wealth fund and improve the quality of life in the state.
