Description
Think New Mexico is an independent, statewide, results-oriented think tank whose mission is to improve the lives of all New Mexicans, especially those who lack a strong voice in the political process. In 2024, Think New Mexico published a report recommending a set of public policy reforms to solve the state’s serious shortage of health care workers. This course describes those proposals and the progress made toward implementing them.
Fred Nathan, Jr. founded Think New Mexico and is its executive director. Nathan served as Special Counsel to the New Mexico Attorney General from 1991-1998. In that capacity, he was the architect of several successful legislative initiatives and was in charge of New Mexico’s lawsuit against the tobacco industry. He serves on the boards of Santa Fe Preparatory School and the Thornburg Foundation.
