The Free New Mexico (FNM) Party State Central Committee (SCC) called a meeting to order at 7:17 PM on Thursday, April 9, 2026. Present at the call to order were the Chair, Vice Chair/Secretary, Treasurer, Communications Director, and Outreach Director.
The agenda was:
1. Treasurer’s Report
2. Approve proposed minutes
3. Report from Chair on legal process
4. Discussion of SCC position on situation and any related motions
5. Announcement from Fundraising Director
The Treasurer reported on the current FNMP bank balances, with $742.97 in the main checking, $15893.43 in the federal account, and 21.73 in checking. He noted that it might be possible to gain interest by putting more of the funds into a savings account, but that would also require paying taxes on gains.
The Affiliate Director joined the meeting.
The Outreach Director moved to approve the proposed minutes from the March 3, 2026 meeting. The motion passed without discussion or objections. The Chair then moved to approve the proposed minutes from the State Convention. That motion also passed without discussion or objections.
The Chair then reported on the legal process. He discussed his work with the LNC, their recent movements, payment of the lawyer, and interactions with various individuals. The rest of the SCC had no questions regarding this report.
The Chair then opened the floor for discussion of the situation. The Outreach Director suggested a possible solidarity vote or agreement, and further discussion focused on implications of the LNC stance.
Finally, the Chair opened the floor for any questions about the upcoming unofficial meeting in Santa Fe. There were no concerns.
The Fundraising Director was not present to make her announcement.
The Vice Chair moved to adjourn, and the motion passed without discussion or objections. The meeting adjourned at 7:53 PM.
