SALT LAKE CITY — New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham on Friday was named as a member of the National Governors Association Executive Committee, according to a release from her office.

This nine-member committee of governors from around the country guides the association’s priorities and activities.

“I am honored to join this dynamic group of governors,” Lujan Grisham said. “We have a unique opportunity to show the nation that bipartisanship and pragmatism are alive and well at the state level, despite what we hear from Washington. I look forward to working with Chairman Hogan on his infrastructure initiative and advancing other New Mexico priorities at the national level.”
