New Mexico needs to invest in support for innovation in all parts of the economy, even agriculture, Congressman Ben Ray Lujan told KNME after addressing a joint session of the New Mexico state Legislature Monday. Lujan also said he will introduce a bill in Congress that would help the state build infrastructure for electric and natural gas vehicles.

Lujan said he wants to help the state compete in the national economy through a “New Mexico Competes” agenda, presumably part of the regional innovation initiatives included in the America COMPETES Act, passed by Congress in December.
