A new legislative office opened in Albuquerque, giving unpaid lawmakers a place to meet people to hear concerns about the community.

The grand opening of the office received great support as New Mexico is the only state in the country that does not pay it legislative members.

The new office gives people a place to meet lawmakers and talk about their concern in their respective community.

Rep. Yanira Gurrola says this office and dozen others around the state gives legislators a chance to connect with people.

“It’s a close place. We work in Santa Fe one time a year and then nobody knows where we are. So this is where they can come find us,” said Yanira Gurrola.

People can find Gurrola and Eleanor Chávez at the new office is on Albuquerque’s Westside at 201 Unser Boulevard NW.

For more than 25 years, I have proudly served New Mexico students and families through the New Mexico Educational Assistance Foundation, helping them plan, prepare, and pay for college. My work has taken me across the state, where I’ve led hands-on FAFSA workshops, connected with diverse communities, and guided students toward their educational goals. Though my background began in technology, my passion has always been people. Working alongside the financial aid community has deepened my commitment to public service and my belief that education is the key to prosperity. As an active member of the Albuquerque Hispano Chamber of Commerce Education Committee for over 13 years, I continue to advocate for access to higher education and opportunity for all New Mexicans. I feel fortunate every day to do meaningful work that strengthens our communities and supports the next generation’s success.
