IN THE NEWS: Deb Haaland Tours Southern Border Job Creators

Santa Teresa, N.M. – Last week, Deb Haaland, who is running to be the next governor of New Mexico, toured the New Mexico-Mexico border economic region in Santa Teresa, New Mexico. The visit highlighted the areas’ critical role in driving economic growth and bilateral trade. Business owners discussed the increased costs that Trump’s tariffs have imposed on their operations and explained the uncertainty limits hiring and growth.   

During the visit, Haaland was also brief on future opportunities for creating jobs through increased trade in the region. Alongside Speaker Javier Martinez, Haaland emphasized the need for strong state leadership that expands economic opportunity, creates high paying jobs, and keeps money in people’s pockets. 

“New Mexico’s southern border is rich in culture, and opportunity, but right now Donald Trump has created uncertainty that puts businesses and families at risk,” said Haaland. “If I’m elected governor, I will double down on investment that lowers costs for families and businesses while leveraging our state’s unique position to build international partnerships.”
