Senator Pat Woods was named 2025 Cattleman of the Year at the New Mexico Cattle Growers’ Association (NMCGA) Joint Stockmen’s Convention in December at Hotel Albuquerque. NMCGA President Bronson Corn stated, “Senator Woods is a true champion for agriculture!”
From his roots as a rancher on a family ranch that has withstood the test of time to his leadership in the New Mexico State Senate, Pat Woods has consistently demonstrated the values of hard work, service, and a deep love for his community. His work in agriculture, public policy, and local organizations has had a lasting impact on the state, and his unopposed run for re-election is a testament to the trust and respect he has earned from the people he serves.
