Establish Salary for State Legislators Amendment
Establish Salary for State Legislators Amendment
New Mexico · November 3, 2026
What this measure does
Establish a salary for state legislators equal to the annual median household income of the state
A yes vote means
State legislators would receive a salary equal to your state's median household income.
A no vote means
State legislators' pay remains unchanged under current rules.
Simple explanation
Right now, state legislators get paid different amounts or sometimes nothing at all depending on the state. This measure would set their pay to match what the typical household in your state earns in a year. It's like saying, "A legislator's job should pay what an average working family makes."
