State Senator Jay Block, a Republican elected in 2025 to represent New Mexico’s 12th Senate district, has recently posted several statements on social media addressing economic policy, U.S.-Canada relations, and political issues in New Mexico.
On August 22, 2025, Block commented on international trade and leadership, stating: “When America has a leader that flexes our economic muscle, the American worker and consumer will benefit. Canada did the right thing, they had no choice.”
The following day, August 23, 2025, he shared a brief message reflecting on a positive experience: “That was a great day.”
On August 24, 2025, Block addressed the topic of gerrymandering in New Mexico politics. He wrote: “Democrats virtue signaling about gerrymandering is ironic…. New Mexicans demand fair representation now! #gerrymandering #gop #fairdistricts”
Block assumed office in the New Mexico State Senate after winning election in 2025. He succeeded Jerry Ortiz y Pino as senator for the state’s 12th district.
