BIG UPDATE: our fight to keep public lands in public hands continues!
This season, families should be celebrating — not carrying the cost of Trump’s reckless trade war. Small businesses are struggling to stay afloat, and prices keep climbing. It’s time for an economy that supports holiday traditions, instead of making them harder.

These families fear the water in their own homes. FEMA must make sure survivors receive the support and compensation they need to stay safe. I will keep fighting for clean water and justice for our communities.

College athletes deserve real protections — not a bill that hands even more power to the NCAA.
That’s why we need to ensure the SCORE Act includes transparency on Title IX compliance and protections for women athletes, along with real accountability.

The first atomic bomb was dropped right here in New Mexico. Its radiation spread across our state, and countless families have suffered from cancer, illness, and loss because of that legacy.

Small Business Saturday is a great time to do some holiday shopping and support your local economy.

I stopped by Obscura Gallery in Santa Fe to see their wonderful collection of artwork. When we invest in local businesses we invest in our community.

This Thanksgiving, we reflect on Lincoln’s hope that our nation might heal and find unity after deep division.

Let his words remind us that our greatest strength comes from empathy and compassion — which we must show for all our neighbors.

Wishing everyone a safe and peaceful Thanksgiving.

The National Guard members respond when called. Our hearts weep for the two Guard members who were shot — we weep with their families, their state, and their nation.

Have you gone to the supermarket yet? How much more is your Thanksgiving dinner going to cost this year?

Trump gets his gold ballroom while hard working Americans struggle to keep the lights on at home.

His temper tariffs and greed have led us here.

In times like these, joy is resistance. Community is the one thing they can’t take from us. When we come together, listen deeply, and choose hope, we build the future New Mexicans deserve.

I voted to repeal the corrupt Senate “Payola” scheme. Now the Senate must repeal it immediately.

FEMA must read the contamination reports and face the facts: this isn’t “naturally occurring.” 55+ wells contaminated with arsenic, manganese, antimony—heavy metals likely tied to a fire started by the federal government.

Tears, cheers, and relief.

Trump must sign the bill NOW and release all the files. No redactions for predators.
November 19, 2025 at 10:11 PM
We have to pass my ‘No Payola’ bill to make sure Republican Senators don’t get millionaire payouts while Americans can’t afford health care.

Epstein told young victims he would get away with his cruelty because he controlled the banks and the government.

Today, the House must prove him wrong and the Senate must do the same tomorrow.

Once again, watch Republicans refuse to support my amendment that would stop their own senators from collecting millions in taxpayer dollars AND require those who already have to return that money to the American people.

Democrats: *Trying to make healthcare more affordable for the American people*

Republicans: sOciALIsM!!!!!

Our neighbors who lost homes, land, and livelihoods to the Hermits Peak - Calf Canyon Fire deserve better. FEMA must honor its responsibilities with transparency, urgency, and respect for the families still waiting for compensation.

Lindsey Graham wants YOU to pay him at least $500,000 because his phone records were lawfully subpoenaed for Trump’s attempt to overturn the election.

Families can’t afford groceries—and he wants a cash reward for being part of Trump’s effort to overturn an election?

During the government shutdown, I wanted to make sure I connected with as many of the people I represent as possible. Earlier this week, before being called back to D.C. for votes, I traveled to Clovis to listen directly to constituents and learn more about the issues impacting their community.
November 13, 2025 at 9:55 PM
We won’t stop fighting for affordable healthcare for the women, children, and families of America.
November 13, 2025 at 8:03 PM
My team is hosting an in-person RECA workshop in Gallup today. Don’t miss it!
November 13, 2025 at 5:00 PM
I proposed an amendment to block Republicans from funneling millions of taxpayer dollars to Senators subpoenaed for January 6th. Watch how every Republican on the Rules Committee lacked the courage to intervene.
November 13, 2025 at 12:17 AM
This is just the tip of the iceberg. Trump is in the files and we will make sure every American knows.
November 12, 2025 at 6:14 PM
Republicans shut down the government and Trump is literally starving Americans because they don’t want families to have affordable health care. They prefer misery over mercy.
