I'm hosting a town hall in Santa Fe on April 22 – please register to join us in-person! I'll be taking questions from folks, sharing an update on my work in Washington, and my staff will be on-site to assist with casework if you're experiencing issues with a federal agency.
When the livelihoods of our retired Americans are at stake, I fight to protect them. I appreciate the perfect score from the Alliance for Retired Americans, and I will continue to support our retirees.
Secretary Kennedy is visiting New Mexico to celebrate “making America healthy,” while he has canceled federal grants that protect public health and ignored my letters demanding answers on the New Mexico measles outbreak. Making Americans sicker is nothing to celebrate. Do your job.

On the heels of President Trump’s reckless tariffs and in the dark of night, Senate Republicans passed a partisan budget resolution that guts critical programs millions of Americans rely on – all to pass the next Trump Tax Scam.
I was honored to join Hispanic state legislators from New Mexico and across the country last night. Each one of them is leading their communities in the fight for better education, health care, and housing. Proud to walk alongside them to make things better.
