Environmental justice means a sustainable future for EVERYONE. So when my good friend, Day Hochman-Vigil for HD15, invited me to a climate infrastructure roundtable, how could I say no?

It’s all hands-on deck to build the future we want to see, and I’m thankful for leaders in the like Day who are in the fight with us. 💪

Whether it’s protecting Social Security and Medicare or fighting for Veterans—we are working for New Mexico. I was honored to host a town hall in Rio Rancho yesterday to hear directly from Sandoval County seniors and community members on what you care about most. We are here for you!

We are empowering the next generation of leaders to fight for the future. Proud to speak with Manzano High School Monarchs (go Monarchs!!) on the importance of a more just and resilient climate future and conservation.

The future is in good hands. 🌎💪♥️

We must support our elders!

Project 2025 would impose “limits or lifetime caps on Medicaid benefits.”

184,900 Medicaid enrollees in NM could lose coverage because they are low income & lack access to alternative, affordable coverage.

They deserve better!

Join us!

So deeply saddened to hear of the loss of Bill Anderson, KRQE News 13’s station manager, who touched so many lives through his mentorship, kindness, and dedication to delivering the news & preserving our nation’s institutions.

He will be missed.
Sending prayers to family and friends.

Labor is in the house! Trades jobs are an integral part of our lives—society literally would not function without them.

Thank you to everyone who showed up to our roundtable to discuss the need for more tradespeople in the workforce and what we can do to make that happen!

Today is a celebration!

Women's Equality Day proves how far we've come. But we must not stop now - there is still work to do. Keep up the fight for reproductive freedom and for WOC to get a seat at the table.

We're all in this together!

Happy birthday to the National Park Service! 🎂

Here's to many more years of those scenic views, wide open skies, and historic landmarks!

I am so proud to call New Mexico home. From our beautiful Sandia skies sprinkled with hot air balloons to our iconic red and green chile, there is no place I’d rather be. It is the honor of a lifetime to serve this great state. ❤️

I’ve secured more than $43 million for community projects ranging from public safety, behavioral health and early childhood education, to rebuilding our water infrastructure and roads.
  
And I’ll keep fighting for funding because our communities deserve it.

My heart is breaking over the loss of my dear friend Bill Pascrell. A legend, fighter, public servant, and gentleman. He will be so missed.

ICYMI: To mark the 2nd anniversary of the Inflation Reduction Act, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency awarded $27 billion in Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund grants to help revitalize communities and lower the costs of energy for families!

I'll keep saying it: the future is bright!

Interns are truly the backbone of Congress, and I'm so grateful for every single one.

Recently, I sat down with my summer intern, Allie, to chat about her favorite parts of being a “Hilltern”. Here's what she had to say:

This report from Oversight Dems shows just how far GOP leadership is willing to sink to prop up Donald Trump - using lies and propaganda. They found nothing.

Time to move on and get back to work for the American people! ➡️

Washington, D.C. (August 19, 2024)—Rep. Jamie Raskin, Ranking Member of the Committee on Oversight and Accountability, issued the following statement after the Republican Chairs of the Committees on Oversight, Judiciary, and Ways and Means released a report making clear that their year-and-a-half ...

To take on the fentanyl crisis, we must understand all aspects of how it impacts our families and communities.

It was important for me to meet with New Mexico Drug and Information Center leaders and tour the Poison Control facility to hear about their work on this issue.

08/19/2024

Democrats are putting people over politics by lowering health care costs and ending corporate price gouging.

We will never stop fighting to help hardworking American taxpayers breathe easier.

What a wonderful week crisscrossing the district yet again! Here’s what we were up to:

- Hosted a housing roundtable to bring together our brightest minds and best resources to address the lack of affordable housing in New Mexico
- Toured the New Mexico Poison and Drug Information Center to learn more about their role in combatting the fentanyl crisis
- Held “Coffee with your Congresswoman” in Los Lunas and Estancia to hear YOU about what Congress should be doing to make your lives better
- Joined the Valencia Water Watchers to learn more about Valencia County’s water needs and talk about the work I’ve done to protect our most precious resource
- Visited and toured Full Circle Recovery to learn more about the behavioral health needs in Valencia County
- Spoke to community members at Los Vecinos Community Center in Tijeras about their youth programs
- Went to Thomas Farms Fiesta Pinto Beans to learn from our farmers about what we can do in Congress to support them
- Celebrated the newly built Veterans Integration Center’s transitional housing facility was partly built using Community Project Funding that will house hundreds of Veterans experiencing homelessness

My favorite part about this job is talking to all of you and I take all our conversations back with me to D.C. to fight for you at the Capitol. Have a great weekend!

Calls to poison control centers have risen by 240% since 2007, especially with the rise in the addiction crisis.

It is critical calls go to the right place. I am proud to have lead this letter with Reps. Gwen Moore & Jon Carter to HRSA urging swift action to ensure Americans get the help they need when calling for help.

Veterans housing saves lives.

Our Veterans have sacrificed so much to serve and protect—and we must ensure we serve them. Proud to have helped fund the NM Veterans Integration Center built from the ground up to provide transitional housing for our Veterans right here in ABQ.

Lowering the cost of prescription drugs saves lives - full stop. Thanks to President Joe Biden, elders in NM on Medicare will pay up to 79% less for critical medications.

This announcement proves once again, that Dems are are delivering for Americans!
