"New Mexico is a state with tremendous potential.  We have abundant oil and gas resources and our state draws thousands of tourists each year to see its natural beauty.  But our true potential isn’t found in what lies under the ground or the beauty that is above it.  Our children–the next generation of New Mexicans–will be what set us apart.  They are the ones who will soon be in our shoes, looking for jobs, making a living, and steering our state on the path to a hopeful future.  We must invest now if we are to set them up for success.  There is much to be done and true leadership is what we will need to get us there." - Leland Bohannon
