To the American people: Keep speaking up.
You stopped the sale of our public lands. You made your voices impossible to ignore.
Keep organizing. Keep calling. Keep showing up.
I’ve got your back when this comes to a vote.

I will continue to stand up and fight to keep our public lands in public hands — for this generation and the next. Let’s keep up the pressure.
This unauthorized and unilateral action puts American troops at risk and threatens to further destabilize the region.
President Trump must work to deescalate rising tensions in the Middle East and to protect the American people.
Americans have made it clear they do not want to be dragged into another endless war in the Middle East. Yet tonight, President Trump went against the American people without sharing any evidence to prove these military strikes would protect our homeland security.
Secretary Kennedy, you are responsible for protecting the health of Americans. People are getting sick, some dying, from the measles outbreak. Start being accountable and respond to congressional letters.
One New Mexican recently wrote to me, “The pharmaceutical tariffs will harm and kill me slowly … Please fight for me.”
The Trump administration is telling the American people to expect pharmaceutical tariffs in the coming months.
It’s New Mexicans who will pay the price.
The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law made historic investments to grow the economy, invest in broadband, and make needed improvements in communities across the nation.
President Trump’s nominee to be the top lawyer for the Department of Commerce doesn’t even know the law exists.
Nothing says corruption like accepting a $400 million plane from a foreign government and calling it a “gift”.
It’s because of stories like Allison’s — whose family depends on Social Security — that I voted against President Trump’s nominee to lead the Social Security Administration.
When I questioned President Trump’s nominee to lead the Social Security Administration if he would commit to not closing offices in New Mexico, he refused to make that commitment.
The more than 500,000 New Mexicans who depend on Social Security deserve better. I just voted against his confirmation.
This Mental Health Awareness Month, the Trump administration is gutting mental health services across the country. I will continue to fight for access to mental health services because mental health MATTERS. #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth
If you need help, the 988 hotline is here to help 24/7.
Today, the Senate is voting to end the President’s reckless tariffs – a NEW TAX – that will increase costs for New Mexicans by $4,000+ a year. New Mexicans can’t afford this chaos and uncertainty. Let’s end this now.
The Trump administration is withholding $430+ billion in federal funds from our communities to pay for the Trump Tax Scam 2.0. Taking money from cancer research, Head Start, farmers and ranchers, reforestation, the list goes on.

No one should be thrown out of their home, barred from public spaces, or otherwise discriminated against because of who they are or whom they love. The #EqualityAct amends existing nondiscrimination protections to protect our LGBTQ+ friends and neighbors, and I’m proud to support.
100 days of increased costs, chaos, and corruption.
President Trump has done nothing to lower prices, help families get ahead, or make things better for NM. During my town hall, I heard from constituent after constituent on how the Trump admin is hurting families.
We can't continue on this path.
Let this sink in.
Two American children, including a 4-year-old with Stage 4 cancer, were sent to Honduras without due process.
No attorney. No medication. The Trump administration’s brutality is putting lives at risk and violating the rights of U.S. citizens.
His administration has gone after programs that farmers, ranchers, veterans, and small businesses depend on – all to pay for his Tax Scam 2.0. His first 100 days have been nothing but chaos and corruption.
In his first 100 days, President Trump has done nothing to lower costs for families. Instead, he's igniting a trade war and weaponizing the federal government to go after his political opponents.
Every day Secretary Hegseth is in charge, he puts American safety and our men and women in uniform at risk. This is negligence, plain and simple.
