I am SO proud that my staff is one of the FIRST on the Hill ever in history to be unionizing. Everyone deserves fair wages and good working conditions, including congressional staff!

As the saying goes, “United We Bargain, Divided We Beg.” 💪

Nearly 72,000 children are eligible for child care in NM because of New Mexico’s Child Care Assistance program!

It is time to make universal child care a reality nationally so all children and families receive the care and support they need.

We need universal childcare!

We're monitoring the train derailment near the NM-AZ border closely - especially potential contamination from leaking hazardous materials. I'm fighting to pass rail safety legislation so private corporations stop endangering communities and workers.

Put people over profits.

Amazing news! New Mexico was awarded $156 million from the U.S. EPA’s Solar for All Program that will make solar power accessible to 20,910 households in the state!

This is what a clean energy future looks like. ☀️😎

I want to welcome everybody who is attending the Gathering of Nations to Albuquerque this weekend!

Every year the largest powwow in North America celebrates Indigenous culture and traditions and calls NM-01 home. Welcome back everyone! ❤️

We stand in full solidarity with the Ukrainian government and people in their continued fight to stop Russia's unprovoked war. We must support our ally as it protects democracy and freedom. Thank you President Biden for quickly delivering this much-needed support we passed this week! 🇺🇦🇺🇸

Today, @SCOTUS is hearing arguments in Trump's immunity claim.

No one is above the law. Not even the former President.

We must restore faith in the Court—which why I introduced the Judicial Ethics Enforcement Act.

Thank you U.S. EPA for enacting this rule to curb pollution from coal burning power plants. This is a major step in curbing climate change, and protecting our land, water, and air and building a more resilient future!

Yesterday, Rep. Gabe Vasquez and I hosted a roundtable celebrating $16 million in HUD funding coming to New Mexico to support 28 organizations serving homeless families across the state! This is a HUGE deal. Proud to champion this work!

Devastated to learn of the passing of our dear friend and colleague Rep. Donald Payne.

A kind, determined, and brilliant congressman, mentor and friend—he will be so very missed. Sending my prayers to his family and community 🙏💔

Everyone is responsible in ensuring our public lands and cultural sites are protected. I applaud President Biden, Secretary Deb Haaland, and Bureau of Land Management - National for finalizing their Public Lands Rule.

This is a historic step to put these conservation uses on par with extractive uses across the West.

Chag Sameach! Wishing you and yours a blessed and happy Passover.

As we mark this holiday, our thoughts are with everyone celebrating around the world and with the hostages still being held, as well as their loved ones. We must continue to work to bring them home.

We’ve never seen a more captured Court—from extravagant gifts to decisions gutting reproductive rights, voting rights, the Clean Water Act, and more.

We must restore faith in our institutions, which is why we introduced the Judicial Ethics Enforcement Act for the Supreme Court.

I voted ‘yes’ for global democracy, humanitarian aid, and aid for our allies in Ukraine, Taiwan, & Israel. Our future depends on it. 

I also sent a letter w/Rep. Teresa Leger Fernández & Rep. Gabe Vasquez to President Biden regarding assurances that military aid will NOT be used in Gaza. Read both below:

A HUGE congratulations to the 4,000 workers at the TN Volkswagen plant on winning their fight to join the UAW!

Unions are part of my family’s history, and I am proud to support all the organizers on the front lines of the movement! 💪
