The New Mexico Political Report is shedding light on “Project 2025,” a blueprint for the future proposed by the far-right Heritage Foundation that could have significant impacts on the lives of New Mexico residents. The document includes proposals for mass deportations, rolling back environmental protections, and dismantling the Department of Education. New Mexico, a state with a high percentage of residents insured through Medicaid, could see coverage at risk due to proposed limits and lifetime caps.
Editor Matthew Reichbach and his team at the New Mexico Political Report have been investigating and sharing targeted stories about the document’s proposals, especially focusing on issues such as reproductive rights and abortion. Reichbach argued that Project 2025 represents a radical shift that could fundamentally change the American landscape.
Although former President Donald Trump has denied involvement with the document, contributors include members of his previous administration. Reichbach emphasized that regardless of Trump’s involvement, the proposals outlined in Project 2025 are a roadmap for conservatives in general, shaping the future of the country beyond any specific presidency.
The New Mexico Political Report will be hosting a public discussion in Santa Fe to inform voters about the potential impacts of Project 2025 and encourage engagement with the issues at hand. The reporting on this topic was supported by The Carnegie Corporation of New York, highlighting the importance of investigative journalism in holding those in power accountable.
