Early life and education

[edit]

Michelle Lynn Lujan[2] was born in Los Alamos, New Mexico and grew up in Santa Fe. Her father, Llewellyn Eugene "Buddy" Lujan,[3] practiced dentistry into his eighties until he died in March 2011. Her mother, Sonja Lee (née Jackson),[4] was a homemaker originally from Indiana who died in 2022. Her sister Kimberly was diagnosed with a brain tumor at the age of two and died at 21.[5]

Lujan Grisham says that her ancestors have inhabited New Mexico for 12 generations.[6] She is part of the prominent Lujan political family in New Mexico, many of whose members have served in elected and appointed positions in government.[7][8][9]

Lujan graduated from St. Michael's High School. She received a Bachelor of Arts in university studies from the University of New Mexico in 1981, where she was a work-study student in the engineering department and was a member of the Delta Delta Delta sorority.[10][11] In 1982, she married Gregory Alan Grisham. She also worked as a technical writing intern for the Westinghouse Electric Corporation. In 1987, Lujan Grisham earned a Juris Doctor from the University of New Mexico School of Law.[12][13]

Lujan Grisham served as director of the New Mexico Aging and Long-Term Services Department under Bruce King, Gary Johnson, and Bill Richardson.

Tenure

[edit]

Lujan Grisham was sworn in on January 1, 2019.[30] In September 2019, she announced a plan to make public universities in New Mexico tuition-free to state residents.[31]

On January 29, 2019, Lujan Grisham signed an executive order calling for New Mexico to join the United States Climate Alliance and to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 45% below 2005 levels by 2030.[32] This executive order also called for the state to develop comprehensive regulations to reduce methane emissions from the oil and gas sector, and for state agencies to work with the legislature to increase the state's renewable portfolio standard.[33]

In March 2019, Lujan Grisham signed New Mexico's Energy Transition Act. The legislation transitions the state's electricity sector away from coal and natural gas and toward a renewable economy, requiring New Mexico's electricity to be 50% renewable by 2030 and 100% from zero-carbon sources by 2045. She called the legislation "a promise to future generations of New Mexicans."[34]

On September 5, 2020, Lujan Grisham was named a co-chair of the Biden-Harris Transition Team, which was planning Joe Biden's presidential transition.[35][36] In November, Lujan Grisham was named a candidate for United States Secretary of Health and Human Services in the Biden administration.[37] On December 3, 2020, she was elected chair of the Democratic Governors Association for 2021, having served as vice chair in 2020.[38]

On September 8, 2023, Lujan Grisham issued an emergency order restricting carrying firearms in Albuquerque for 30 days.[41] The order has been criticized by Republicans, civil rights advocates, some Democrats, and gun safety advocates as unconstitutional.[42][43][44] On September 13, Judge David H. Urias issued a temporary restraining order blocking her order until October 3, when a hearing was held. On October 3, Urias extended the preliminary hold while he considers blocking the restrictions indefinitely.[45][46]

Political positions

[edit]

Abortion

[edit]
See also: Abortion in New Mexico

Abortion is legal in New Mexico at all stages of pregnancy.[47]

In 1969, the New Mexico Legislature passed a law that made it a felony for someone to provide a woman with an abortion unless it was needed to save a woman's life, or because her pregnancy was a result of rape or incest.[48] The U.S. Supreme Court's decision in 1973's Roe v. Wade barred states from regulating abortion in the first trimester;[49] consequently, New Mexico's 1969 abortion law became unenforceable.[50][51] In her 2019 State of the State address, Lujan Grisham stated her support for a repeal of the 1969 law. She said, "The old criminal abortion law of this state, only one of nine left in the entire country, must go. Bring me that bill and I will sign it."[52] Lujan Grisham published an op-ed in support of repeal on March 3, 2019.[53] Repeal legislation passed the New Mexico House of Representatives;[54] however, that legislation was defeated in the Democratic-led State Senate on March 14, 2019, by a vote of 24–18.[51] Following the Senate vote, Lujan Grisham said, "This old, outdated statute criminalizing health care providers is an embarrassment. That removing it was even a debate, much less a difficult vote for some senators, is inexplicable to me."[55]

In 2021, the New Mexico legislature passed SB10, a repeal of the 1969 abortion law. The bill was approved in the House by a 40–30 margin and in the Senate by a 25–17 margin. Governor Lujan Grisham signed it into law on February 26, 2021.[56][57]

Guns

[edit]

Lujan Grisham was a co-sponsor of the Assault Weapon Ban, H. R. 4269, introduced on December 12, 2015.[58]

Israel

[edit]

Lujan Grisham is a strong supporter of Israel. She condemned the United Nations Security Council's criticism of Israel's settlement building in the occupied Palestinian territories.[59]

Marijuana legalization

[edit]

In 2019, after a bill to legalize recreational marijuana passed the New Mexico House but not the Senate, Lujan Grisham announced that she would add the issue to the legislative agenda for the upcoming year.[60] She also announced the formation of a working group to determine the best path forward for legalization during the 2020 session.[61] In 2021, after the legislature failed to legalize cannabis during the regular session, Lujan Grisham called a special session so that lawmakers could pass a legalization bill.[62] She signed the bill into law on April 12, 2021.[63]

Minimum wage

[edit]

In 2015, Lujan Grisham co-sponsored legislation that would raise the federal minimum wage to $12/hour.[64]

2024 presidential election

[edit]

After Joe Biden dropped out of the 2024 presidential election and Kamala Harris became the front-runner for the Democratic nomination, Lujan Grisham endorsed Harris and said she was confident that Harris will win New Mexico in the Electoral College.[65]

Personal life

[edit]

Lujan Grisham married Gregory Grisham in 1982. They were married until his death from a brain aneurysm in 2004. The couple had two daughters.[66] Lujan Grisham filed a wrongful death suit against her husband's physician,[67] but the lawsuit was dropped.[66]

Lujan Grisham married Manuel Cordova, a small business owner from Albuquerque, on May 21, 2022, with Vice President of the United States Kamala Harris officiating the wedding. The wedding was postponed due to COVID-19 restrictions.[68][69] The couple had been together since 2012.[70]

Sexual battery settlement

[edit]

In December 2019, a former campaign staffer and spokesperson, James Hallinan, accused Lujan Grisham of sexual battery. According to Hallinan, the incident took place during a staff meeting in 2018. By his account, Lujan Grisham poured a bottle of water on his crotch and then slapped and grabbed his crotch through his pants while laughing. He said the incident happened "in front of everybody".[71]

In April 2021, it was publicized that Lujan Grisham and her gubernatorial campaign, while denying the allegations, had reached a $62,500 settlement with the law firm representing Hallinan. The payment was made in monthly installments of $12,500 from November 2020 to March 2021.[72] Her political committee paid another $87,500 over six months, bringing the total payout to $150,000.[73]

Ethics controversy

[edit]

In February 2021, an investigative team from Albuquerque TV station KOB found reports of more than $6,500 worth of groceries bought from the governor's contingency fund, which is intended for travel or official functions to promote the state. According to public receipts through an Inspection of Public Records Act request, the items include anything from "laundry detergent to Wagyu beef, tuna steaks, top sirloin and hundreds of dollars in alcohol purchases."[74]
