New Mexico works because it’s affordable.

Right now, our cost of living is less expensive than the majority of other states — and that matters for working families, small businesses, and the middle class.

But that advantage isn’t guaranteed.

SB 18 Will Drive Up Costs Across The State

SB 18 would impose costly new mandates that will raise the cost of living and doing business across the state. When energy and other costs rise, businesses pay more to operate, families pay more to get by, and the middle class is left carrying the burden.

Higher prices don’t just impact monthly bills — they threaten:

• Job growth and new business investment

• Household affordability and cost of living

• Essential government services funded by a strong economy

New Mexico Doesn’t Need California’s Problems

When governments copy policies from places like California, costs go up — and regular families get priced out of everyday life.

New Mexico should be protecting what makes our state strong:

• Affordable communities

• Opportunity for working families

• A competitive business climate

Let’s Protect Affordability. Let’s Protect Opportunity.

SB 18 puts New Mexico’s future at risk by making life in New Mexico more expensive and slowing economic growth.

Tell lawmakers to vote NO on SB 18.
