Infrastructure

Infrastructure should be about results.

New Mexico has secured billions in federal funding for roads, bridges, water systems, broadband, and other critical needs. The problem is no longer a lack of money. It is a state system that moves too slowly, gets tangled in process, and leaves communities waiting years for projects to begin.

Those delays raise costs, weaken public trust, and waste opportunities to improve daily life.

Gregg Hull’s focus is fixing the bottlenecks that hold projects back and making sure public dollars deliver visible improvements. When funding is announced, New Mexicans should see progress on the ground, not endless paperwork and missed deadlines.

Creating an Infrastructure Execution Office

Gregg supports creating a dedicated Infrastructure Execution Office focused on delivery, not just planning.

This office would be responsible for moving projects from approval to completion by streamlining permits, setting clear timelines, coordinating with cities and counties, and tracking progress at every stage.

Delivery Priorities

• Move projects from approval to completion.
• Streamline permits.
• Set clear timelines.
• Coordinate with cities and counties.
• Track progress at every stage.
• Reduce delays caused by confusion and overlapping authority.

Reforming Procurement

Procurement reform is critical. New Mexico’s current system is slow, complex, and discourages competition.

Gregg supports modernizing procurement to speed up vendor payments, use statewide digital contract tracking, and strengthen auditing to protect taxpayer dollars.

Procurement Priorities

• Speed up vendor payments.
• Use statewide digital contract tracking.
• Strengthen auditing to protect taxpayer dollars.
• Help local businesses participate.
• Get projects moving sooner through a faster, clearer process.

Building Transparency Into Major Projects

Transparency must be built in from the start. Major state and federally funded projects should be tracked on a public, easy-to-use dashboard.

Residents should be able to see where money is going, what stage a project is in, and whether deadlines are being met.

Accountability Priorities

• Track major state and federally funded projects publicly.
• Show where money is going.
• Show what stage each project is in.
• Show whether deadlines are being met.
• Build public trust through real-time visibility.

Delivering for Rural Communities

Rural communities deserve the same attention as larger cities.

Gregg’s approach treats every community fairly and focuses on delivering infrastructure where people live and work, not just where it is easiest.

Rural Infrastructure Priorities

• Treat every community fairly.
• Deliver infrastructure where people live and work.
• Make sure rural communities are not left waiting years for needed projects.
• Focus on results across New Mexico, not just in larger cities.

Protecting New Mexico’s Water Future

Water is the foundation of New Mexico’s future. It affects whether communities can grow, businesses can expand, farms can operate, and families can stay.

Gregg believes securing New Mexico’s water supply requires planning ahead, protecting what we have, and investing in practical solutions that increase reliability over time.

This includes conservation, infrastructure upgrades, advanced wastewater treatment, aquifer recharge, brackish water development, and clear legal frameworks that give communities, farmers, Tribal nations, and all water users more certainty.

Results, Not Excuses

Infrastructure is a promise. Gregg Hull’s goal is to replace bureaucratic drag with clear responsibility, faster action, and honest accountability so New Mexicans see results, not excuses.

Public dollars should lead to visible improvements in roads, bridges, water systems, broadband, and the critical infrastructure New Mexicans rely on every day.
