New Mexico's Democrat-led Legislature delivered on a handful of the governor's major priorities in her calls for public safety reforms, gun control, housing construction and the use of incentives to forge new solutions to climate change as lawmakers adjourned their 30-day annual session Thursday. Lujan Grisham praised a trio of public safety bills that ban some guns at voting locations, extend a waiting period on gun purchases to seven days and give judges an extra opportunity to deny bail to defendants who are charged with new crimes while already awaiting trial on a felony. But she also delivered a grim assessment of violent crime across the state -- invoking the stabbing death last week of a Las Cruces patrol officer at the hands of a man with a record of crime and mental illness.

Former New Mexico sheriff and current U.S. Senate candidate Manuel Gonzales III tells'Fox & Friends First' about his decision to join the Republican Party. New Mexico's Democrat-led House of Representatives narrowly rejected a bill Wednesday that would have guaranteed paid time off for workers to cope with serious illnesses or care for newborns and loved ones, amid concern about companies' opposition in an election year. The proposal failed 34-36 on a final vote that would have sent the bill to Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham, whose 2019 executive order established paid family leave of up to 12 weeks for state employees. Thirteen states and Washington, D.C. currently guarantee paid leave. New Mexico already requires employers to provide paid sick leave to workers under a 2021 law.
