The Attack on Energy Hurts Every New Mexican

Sign The Letter

Dear Official(s),

New Mexico’s economy depends on a strong and thriving oil and gas industry. This sector is not just a key employer—it is one of the largest revenue generators for our state, funding critical services like education, healthcare, and infrastructure. The proposed legislation—HB 35, HB 257, HB 259, and HB 548—threatens to cripple this vital industry, putting jobs, investment, and essential public funding at risk.

The Reality: Oil & Gas Powers New Mexico

🔹 $1.7 billion in funding for public schools and state programs

🔹 Over 134,000 direct and indirect jobs supported by the industry

🔹 Affordable energy that keeps costs low for families and businesses

The Risk: What These Bills Will Do

❌ Drive jobs and investment out of New Mexico

❌ Increase energy costs, making life more expensive for everyone

❌ Shrink state revenue, leading to potential cuts in public services

Instead of policies that undermine one of New Mexico’s most important industries, we need legislation that promotes economic growth, job creation, and energy innovation.

I urge you to vote NO on HB 35, HB 257, HB 259, and HB 548. Protect New Mexico’s economy, workers, and future.

Thank you for your time and leadership.

New Mexico’s Economic Future Is at Risk!

Politicians in Santa Fe are pushing extreme policies that threaten jobs, drive up energy costs, and put our state’s economic future in jeopardy. New Mexico has a historic opportunity to expand prosperity and create opportunity, but instead, some lawmakers are choosing job-killing regulations and tax hikes that will drive businesses and investment out of our state.

The Attack on Energy Hurts Every New Mexican

New Mexico’s oil and gas industry isn’t just about energy production—it’s a key driver of jobs, economic growth, and opportunity:

✅ $13 billion annually in economic impact, fueling investment and local businesses

✅ Thousands of jobs supported statewide, providing good wages for hardworking families

✅ Nearly half of the state’s budget, funding key infrastructure and economic stability

While energy producers continue to innovate—reducing emissions, increasing efficiency, and leading in environmental stewardship—politicians want to impose burdensome regulations and massive tax hikes that will kill jobs, increase energy costs, and drive investment to other states.

Bad Policies = Higher Costs and Fewer Jobs

Proposals like HB548, which would impose an 85% tax increase on oil production, don’t just hurt businesses—they hurt New Mexico families. If passed, this tax hike will:

❌ Destroy jobs and push energy production to states with more competitive policies

❌ Raise costs for families, businesses, and entrepreneurs

❌ Make New Mexico more dependent on oil and gas revenue while discouraging investment

Instead of letting government pick winners and losers, we should be championing bottom-up solutions that drive innovation, expand opportunity, and keep energy affordable.

New Mexico families deserve energy policies that foster growth and innovation—not burdensome mandates that drive up costs and force opportunities out of state.”

Thank you for your time and consideration.
