House Memorial 23 proposes to declare February 20, 2025, as "Excellence in Rio Rancho Day" in the House of Representatives of New Mexico. The memorial highlights the city's growth and achievements, including its transformation from a retirement community to the third-largest city in the state, with a population exceeding 110,000. It emphasizes Rio Rancho's significant economic development, improved median household incomes, recognition for safety, and a top-rated public school district celebrating 30 years of quality education. The city has also received accolades from various publications for its livability and family-friendly environment.

The resolution calls for copies of the memorial to be sent to key local officials, including the mayor, city council members, city manager, and the president of the Rio Rancho regional chamber of commerce. This recognition aims to celebrate the city's accomplishments and promote community pride.
