Oh, look who suddenly knows what Project 2025 is.

I’ve worked closely with Tammy for years and I trust her to do what’s right for Albuquerque’s families. She works hard for the people she represents and her approach is always thoughtful and grounded in proven solutions.

Let’s keep her on City Council, fighting for you.

From my time on ABQ City Council to now, I know how much local leadership matters. Athenea Allen shares my same commitment to public safety, strong families, and accountable government that guides my own work. I know she’ll be a strong, steady voice for District 5.

@letstalkamanda.bsky.social spent years working to ensure our elections are fair and secure. Now she’s stepping up to bring her experience to the entire state so New Mexicans can continue to have their voices heard at the polls.

I’m proud to endorse her for our next Secretary of State.

We won the last battle on Republicans’ efforts to sell off public lands–but the fight isn’t over.

@juansanchez-nm.bsky.social understands that. We’ve fought to protect our public lands together before and I know he’ll continue to do so as your next Land Commissioner.

OPINION: A win for New Mexico's public lands — but the fight isn't over

In New Mexico, our land is more than just open spaces, it’s who we are and essential to our way of life. That’s why thousands of New Mexicans raised the

New Mexico’s LGBTQ+ community knows I will always stand with them and that’s why, once again, I’m cosponsoring the Equality Act.

No one should ever fear harassment or discrimination because of who they are or who they love.

My friend @hickenlooper.bsky.social is running for re-election, and he needs our support. Taking back the Senate in 2026 is the best way to fight back against Trump, and we can’t do that without defending Colorado. Chip in what you can to help him out:

If Trump wants to bring back coal, he’s failing miserably.

Renewables + storage = cheaper/cleaner/faster/better

Chart: Clean energy dominated global power construction in 2024

But emissions from the power sector still ticked up last year amid rising demand and more fossil-fuel use.

Every time it’s been introduced, I’ve cosponsored the Public Service Freedom to Negotiate Act. That’s because every worker deserves a voice in their workplace and the right to join a union–including public sector employees.

If DOGE defunds the NM Humanities Council, New Mexicans will lose access to funds for schools, rural communities, and wildfire recovery. These cuts need to be rescinded.

Officials from the National Endowment for the Humanities terminated grant contracts with groups across the U.S., including in New Mexico.

New Mexicans are raising their voices to reject Trump & Musk’s chaos and saying #HandsOff our freedoms, our earned benefits, and our futures.

After voting through the night to block Republicans’ plans to hurt working families, seeing this gives me the energy to keep fighting!
