This is what the Trump administration is trying to turn the Chama and Carson National Forest into: uranium-mining pits. Who stands with me in saying “hell no” to letting the Trump administration sell off our public lands to the highest bidder?

Inflation is at its highest level under the Trump administration. New Mexicans are struggling to put food on the table, keep a roof over their heads, and make ends meet. President Trump has repeatedly said – and shown – that he does not care one bit about the increased costs

Millions of Americans rely on our nation’s food programs to put food on the table. Yet Senate Republicans' Farm Bill does nothing to restore the benefits that were ripped away from children and families. SNAP has been a bipartisan promise for decades. We cannot turn our backs

Says a lot about someone’s politics when you’re willing to block a massive bipartisan legislative win in service of a Hail Mary attempt to save your own fragile ego from electoral humiliation

Congress passed the largest housing bill in decades to lower costs and expand homeownership. Donald Trump called it "minor importance." There's nothing minor about families struggling to afford rent, save for a down payment, or buy their first home. Senate Democrats delivered a

Four years after Dobbs, President Trump and Congressional Republicans are still attacking reproductive freedom. Women deserve the freedom to make their own health care decisions. In New Mexico, we've protected that freedom, and I'll keep fighting to restore the rights taken away
