  • Packed House for start of session

    With the 30-day legislative session set to get underway at noon, the Roundhouse has been buzzing with activity.

    A line began forming at 7:30 a.m. to secure a spot in the House public gallery, with members of Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham's administration, political candidates and advocates among those waiting for a seat.

    The governor will deliver her annual State of the State Address after the Legislature officially starts its business -- her final such speech as governor.

    While lawmakers waited for the clock to strike noon, mariachis entertained House members and their guests and lawmakers posed for selfies.

    The public is now required to pass through metal detectors to enter the Roundhouse, a change implemented by lawmakers during the COVID-19 pandemic.
