House Memorial 9, introduced by Representatives Javier Martinez, Raymundo Lara, Yanira Gurrola, Angelica Rubio, and Cindy Nava, declares January 21, 2026, as "Mexico-New Mexico Advocacy Day" in the House of Representatives. This memorial celebrates the strong partnership and shared interests in culture, the arts, and economic prosperity between Mexico and New Mexico. It highlights the significant cultural and economic ties, including New Mexico's high percentage of Hispanic or Latino population and its status as a leading trading partner with Mexico, which supports thousands of jobs in the state.

The resolution emphasizes the importance of the Mexican consulate in Albuquerque as a key partner in fostering connections between local entities and Mexico, as well as its role in supporting the immigrant community and enhancing public safety. It calls for the establishment of a forum for political, business, and academic discussions on issues affecting the Mexico-New Mexico relationship, with the aim of improving bilateral cooperation and promoting economic growth. The memorial expresses hope that this inaugural celebration will become an annual event and directs that copies be sent to relevant stakeholders, including the Mexican consulate and state officials.
