A lively interactive discussion between NM State Senator Carrie Hamblen and NM Water Ambassador Norm Gaume about the water, our sustainable quality of life, and the NM Legislature, broadcast live from Senator Hamblen’s office in Las Cruces. Conservation Voters New Mexico (CVNM) recognized Senator Hamblen (SD-38, Doña Ana) with its 2024 Luminaria Award. Many of the Senator’s allies attended. Her acceptance speech was brilliant.
