State Senator Jay Block, a Republican representing New Mexico’s 12th Senate district since 2025, posted a series of messages on his social media account on September 10 and 11, 2025. The posts addressed the recent loss experienced by Mrs. Kirk and her family.
Later that same day, he added another brief message: “RIP. No words…”
On September 11, Block posted a third message: “Thank you, Mr. President.”
Block was elected to the New Mexico State Senate in 2025 to represent District 12, succeeding Jerry Ortiz y Pino.
