State Senator Jay Block, a Republican representing New Mexico’s 12th Senate district since 2025, posted a series of comments on his Twitter account in mid-January 2026 addressing national and state political figures.
On January 13, 2026, Block referenced a U.S. Senator from Pennsylvania, writing: “The one Democrat in DC who is reasonable. Thank you @SenFettermanPA! https://t.co/eWDwuqXHgM”.
Shortly after, on the same day, Block criticized an unnamed governor with the statement: “These are the scumbags the idiot governor is protecting. Let that sink in. https://t.co/gNxbxiryWY”.
On January 15, 2026, Block posted another message referencing public trust in scientific authorities: “And these were the people who said trust the science. https://t.co/VCKhq1sgAu”.
Block was elected to the New Mexico State Senate in 2025 to represent District 12, succeeding Jerry Ortiz y Pino. As a member of the Republican Party, his social media presence often features direct commentary on both local and national issues.
