As the special election to fill New Mexico’s First Congressional District heats up, an important area of bipartisan common ground has emerged: both Democratic Rep. Melanie Stansbury and Republican Sen. Mark Moores are emphasizing their support for repealing New Mexico’s tax on Social Security income.
During the last two legislative sessions, nine bills were introduced to repeal this tax, sponsored by lawmakers from across the political spectrum. Unfortunately, despite the strong bipartisan support for this reform, New Mexico remains one of 13 states that taxes Social Security benefits. Of those states, New Mexico has the second harshest tax, costing the average Social Security recipient nearly $700 a year.
