I went to Española yesterday, and the results made the front page of the Gallup Independent this weekend
The front page of the March 1-2, 2025 edition of the Gallup Independent newspaper centers a photo of U.S. Rep. Teresa Leger Fernandez standing at a podium adorned with a sign that reads "Republican ripoff: Tax breaks for billionaires, high costs for you." Leger Fernandez is flanked by health care workers and constituents at a news conference in Española, New Mexico. They're holding signs that read "Medicaid Saves Lives" and "Don't Kill Our Rural Clinics." The story is titled 'Medicaid protects our system, patients': Mother, health providers, lawmakers sound alarm over proposed Medicaid cuts.

I knew this story was set to appear in this week's Santa Fe Reporter, but I didn't know it would be the cover story!!
The cover of the print edition of the alt weekly newspaper Santa Fe Reporter shows an illustration of a person kneeling, their hands over their chest. Other people's hands extend from the background, touching their body. The headline reads, State of Abuse: Survey finds half of New Mexicans have experienced sexual violence A two-page spread shows info graphics and a news story based on data from a survey conducted by the Catherine Cutler Institute at the University of Southern Maine
