It goes on to say the governor aims to advance potential trade deals in natural gas exports during the official trade mission to Mexico. During the trip, Gov. Lujan Grisham will meet with the Mexican government, energy and business leaders, and others. Caroline Buerkle, deputy chief of operations in the Governor’s Office, and New Mexico Economic Development Secretary Rob Black are traveling with the governor.
It is unclear how much the trip cost or how many Governor staffers went on the Mexico trip. We reached out to her communication staff and will update if we hear back from them.
