Michelle Lujan Grisham

Michelle Lujan Grisham is the current Governor of New Mexico. She is newsworthy due to two recent developments impacting her state. First, the Speaker of the Texas House of Representatives has directed a committee to study the feasibility of annexing one or more New Mexico counties into Texas. This action puts pressure on New Mexico's leadership and raises questions about the state's future. Second, the New Mexico Attorney General has ordered the reopening of the criminal investigation into Jeffrey Epstein's Zorro ranch in the state. This decision follows the release of new information by the US Department of Justice and a public pressure campaign demanding a more thorough investigation into the ranch's role in Epstein's sex trafficking activities. These events highlight challenges facing Governor Lujan Grisham's administration and the state of New Mexico.
