New Mexico Legislators Get Paid | Santa Fe News

New Mexico voters are set to decide this November on a constitutional amendment that would finally pay state legislators a salary—around $67,800 per year—making it the only state in the nation where lawmakers currently serve unpaid. The move aims to professionalize the legislature, which is increasingly seen as outdated and inaccessible, favoring the wealthy or retired. But here’s the twist: many legislative aides, already earning up to $79,200 annually, could end up making more than their bosses. Supporters argue this reflects the specialized, full-time nature of aide work and is necessary to attract top talent to keep the statehouse running smoothly. The debate also centers on equity—paying lawmakers could open doors for a broader range of voices, ensuring the legislature better represents New Mexico’s diverse communities.
