Albuquerque – New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham kicked off the 2025 Legislative Session in traditional fashion by refusing to show gratitude for the state’s oil and natural gas workers. This is the seventh speech the Governor has offered before the legislative session and despite spending the billions provided by oil and gas workers, the Governor has not once expressed any gratitude.

"Michelle Lujan Grisham is the Governor of the 'Land of Enchantment' not the 'Land of Entitlement' but you’d never know because of her lack of gratitude," said Larry Behrens, Communications Director for Power The Future. "Lujan Grisham will fly across the globe to fawn over the radical environmental movement, but doesn’t have a single minute to spare to say 'Thank yo'’ to the workers who make her bloated budgets possible. Leadership is about more than inflated budgets, and that’s why Michelle Lujan Grisham is only a politician."

Just last week, Power The Future took out a full page ad asking Governor Lujan Grisham to simply say “Thank You” to New Mexico’s oil and natural gas workers. The political cartoon in Sunday’s Albuquerque Journal also highlighted the Governor’s inability to show gratitude.
