Headquarters: Santa Fe, NM | Founded: 1999 | www.thinknewmexico.org
Think New Mexico is a results-oriented, non-partisan, independent think tank seeking to improve the quality of life for all New Mexicans, especially working low and middle-income families. Think New Mexico develops effective, comprehensive, sustainable solutions to some of the most serious problems facing New Mexico. The group combines the traditional think tank research model with direct advocacy focused on educating the public, the media, and policymakers.
