Think New Mexico is a public policy think tank based in Santa Fe, New Mexico, that conducts independent, nonpartisan research focused on issues affecting New Mexicans. The organization educates the public, the media, and policymakers and pursues practical, sustainable solutions rather than subscribing to a single ideology. Its board comprises Democrats, Independents, and Republicans, providing a bipartisan governance framework aimed at advancing the state's interests. Its work is measured by the public policy changes it helps achieve, including expanding full-day kindergarten, repealing the state's food tax, creating a Strategic River Reserve, establishing Individual Development Accounts, redirecting lottery funds to full-tuition college scholarships, and reforming title insurance to lower costs for homebuyers and refinancers. Think New Mexico positions itself as a results-oriented organization focused on improving quality of life for New Mexicans who lack a strong voice in the political process. In 2022 it published a 10-point plan to improve the state's public education system.
