          IN RECOGNITION OF THE 2022 DAVIS NEW MEXICO SCHOLARS

                             of new mexico

                    in the house of representatives

                          Friday, May 27, 2022

  Ms. LEGER FERNANDEZ. Madam Speaker, I rise to honor the recipients of 
the Davis New Mexico Scholarship for their outstanding academic and 
personal achievement.
  Founded in 2014 to ensure that more first-generation college-going 
New Mexican students complete a four-year degree, the Davis New Mexico 
Scholarship's mission is to break the generational opportunity gap in 
higher education.
  I congratulate and commend each of the 2022 Davis New Mexico 
Scholars. The recipients include: Joshua Abeyta, Yamilenia Aguilar 
Diaz, Edwin Aranda Martinez, Jessica Arevalo, Diego Armendariz, Andres 
Arroyo-Cano, Norely Breceda Mendoza, Amanda Carey, Omar Carmona, 
Rodriguez, Simrat Chauhan, Jorge Chumacero, Aiden Cruz, Kaylin 
Francisco, Nathaly Galindo, Kevin Granillo Hernandez, Antony Ha, Jeisha 
Hernandez, Dominique Herrera, Minh Hoyer, Esmeralda Jasso Laguna, Mary 
Jensen, Perla Juarez, Hariah Lewis Gleason, Kylen Littlehat, Hailey 
Loya, Juan Loya, Ingrid Luevano Flores, Jamie Lujan, Rayvan Luna, 
Isaiah Madril, Megan Manzanares, Elvis Marin, Mariah Mejillas-Rivera, 
Isabella Pacheco, Araceli Pena, Tse-Whang Pena, Veronica Perez, 
Betzabed Ramirez, Aldo Rios, Abigail Rios Guevara, Victoria Rivera, Amy 
Segura, Alana Smith, Clara Sotelo, Bridget Valdez, Joaquin Valencia, 
Ximena Valencia Lozoya, Pete Velarde, Alec Vigil, and Ajahrain 
Yellowhair.
  These students are among the best in New Mexico. It takes a 
tremendous amount of willpower and hard work to pursue a college 
education, especially when you're the first in your family to go to 
college.
  Whether they study in New Mexico or elsewhere, the recipients of the 
2022 Davis New Mexico Scholarship, they will continue to make our state 
proud. I join their families and communities in wishing them well on 
their college journey.
