We want a government funding bill that helps you, not hurts you.
President Trump instructed Republicans not to "even bother" working with Democrats, but we stand ready to negotiate with Republicans willing to put the needs of the American people front and center.

Republicans and Donald Trump have broken their promise to put Americans families first, and instead, they have prioritized millionaires, cut healthcare and nutrition programs, and have refused to work with Democrats to lower your costs and make your life better.
Since Republicans took full control of the federal government, life has become more expensive and difficult for hard-working Americans.
Today, I again voted against the same partisan, temporary government funding bill that Republicans passed on a party-line vote in March.
This is not a "clean," status-quo funding bill, but an extension of deep cuts made by Republicans and a power grab by the President.
This attack on free speech is anti-American, a violation of our constitution, and another example of the chilling and shocking rise of authoritarianism in America.
Donald Trump has led the charge to defund PBS, and just weeks ago, he attacked ABC and NBC. He has notably left other networks like Fox News, OANN, and Newsmax completely unscathed – likely because they are owned by his allies and have eagerly done his bidding.
Carr, who wrote the FCC chapter for Project 2025, is using his position to silence speech he disagrees with and degrade the first amendment, which guarantees and protects free speech.
The reason Jimmy Kimmel was indefinitely removed by ABC is because of FCC Chairman Brendan Carr’s threat to the network to "do this the easy way or the hard way."
The unprecedented use of the power of the federal government to silence anyone President Donald Trump disagrees with or dislikes should alarm every American.
For decades, El Pasoans have had to travel for cancer care, but the Fox Cancer Center at TTUHSC El Paso will make treatment available right here at home.
I wish I could have joined the groundbreaking ceremony, but I'm sending all my support from DC.

Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” is enriching private prison corporations at YOUR expense.
This is what $1.24 billion of YOUR taxpayer dollars are funding in El Paso 👇🏽

As a member of Congress, I have a responsibility to name and speak against what is happening: this is genocide.

Farmers need labor.
“[Migrants] want the American dream, and they want to work.”
My bipartisan comprehensive immigration reform bill, the Dignity Act, grants legal protections and work authorization to migrants so we can keep our economy competitive.

Trump and Republicans are hoping that by renaming the "One Big Beautiful Bill," you'll ignore that this legislation means 99% of Americans will make LESS after-tax money.
They're taking your money, giving it to the 1%, and praying you won't notice.

Did you know that Congresswoman Escobar's birthday falls on 915 day?
Join us on Team Escobar in wishing her a very happy birthday!!
🚨 Update from the ongoing Appropriations Committee debate we’re having about funding for labor, health, and education
If we want to have a healthy, growing economy long-term, we need an educated workforce.
If we want our country to remain competitive for generations to come, we need to invest in our public education system.
Republicans are refusing to give educators across the country the financial support they need, especially when it comes to Title I funding that provides money to some of the poorest districts in America.
In El Paso, we could lose up to a thousand teachers without Title I funding.
