House Memorial 27 declares January 28, 2026, as the fiftieth annual "Grant County Day" in the New Mexico House of Representatives. The memorial highlights the rich cultural heritage, historical significance, and economic contributions of Grant County, including its mining and ranching communities, the unique blend of Hispanic, Native American, and Anglo cultures, and its status as the gateway to the Gila wilderness. It also emphasizes the importance of Western New Mexico University as a hub for education and Hispanic traditions, as well as the county's notable historical figures and events, such as the establishment of the Buffalo Soldiers at Fort Bayard.

Additionally, the memorial honors the late Joseph Edward "Ed" Stevens, the longtime mayor of Hurley, and recognizes current Lieutenant Governor Howie Morales for their service to the people of New Mexico. The resolution calls for copies of the memorial to be transmitted to the members of the Grant County Board of County Commissioners, ensuring that the significance of this day and the contributions of its residents are acknowledged and celebrated.
