BIG UPDATE: our fight to keep public lands in public hands continues!
Trump’s priorities are all wrong.

Americans don’t want a military intervention in a foreign country, we want affordable healthcare and housing.

And Trump’s justifications are a lie to the American people.

2025 brought tough battles to protect what matters most.

Despite it all, we secured millions for New Mexicans and passed RECA—finally delivering justice for radiation exposure survivors.

I’m ready to keep fighting for the bright future Americans deserve.

We work for the people.

This year, our office supported constituents across the district in big and small ways.

Here are some of their stories:

Feliz Navidad, Nuevo México!

On this Christmas Day, I’m wishing you peace, love, and moments of gratitude with those you hold close. May the spirit of this season carry us into the new year with hope.

Only 1 day until Christmas. Unfortunately, Trump’s bad economics left America’s stocking filled with coal.

2 days away from Christmas and the Republican Advent Calendar delivers: affordable healthcare delayed. Again.
December 24, 2025 at 1:32 AM
3 days until Christmas. Not a white Christmas — thanks to Republicans keeping our waters dirty.

My office will be closed for the holidays but we will be checking our voicemail every day.

Please leave a message at (505)428-4680 if you need help with a federal agency.

With 4 days until Christmas, Republicans are playing the Grinch—making energy costs higher and making it harder for families to keep the lights on.
December 21, 2025 at 9:10 PM
On the fifth day of Christmas, Republicans made sure Trump could drag us into more foreign wars.
December 20, 2025 at 9:32 PM
6 days until Christmas. Let’s see what Republicans have been up to in Congress instead of lowering costs for Americans.

"Republicans should focus on making life more affordable for Americans, not giving away more land. Not making those big int'l companies even richer."

@fernandez.house.gov called out the MRCA as a giveaway to big foreign mining companies that lets polluters dump mine waste on our public lands 👇

Here’s how we forced a vote to save the ACA tax credits while we’re in the minority.
December 18, 2025 at 7:54 PM
Speaker Johnson, let us vote to save the ACA tax credits. Now.

We ❤️ milk.

For 13 years, kids couldn’t have whole or 2% milk at school.

Luckily for our kids, our dairy farmers and Santa, the Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act has officially passed the House and Senate!

The light must always win.

My office is here to help with any issue you have with a federal agency.

This year we saved New Mexicans millions of dollars.

This is how a government for the people by the people works.

Arthur Sze has carried New Mexico’s light across the world, and now he carries it as the 25th U.S. Poet Laureate.

May his words deliver us tolerance, connection, and understanding.

Felicidades Arthur.

🚨🚰 ATTENTION MORA, SAN MIGUEL, AND TAOS COUNTIES:

If you live within one mile of the Hermitt’s Peak/Calf Canyon Fire burn scar, please get your wells tested to make sure no dangerous metals have seeped into the water you’re drinking. It’s free!

The NDAA this year was far from perfect—that’s what bipartisan compromise looks like nowadays—but here’s what I voted for:

Americans’ healthcare premiums will skyrocket in 22 days, but Republicans are just now getting out their whiteboard to brainstorm ideas.

The quickest to give real relief today is to extend the tax credits—it’s that easy.
December 10, 2025 at 4:04 PM
Trump’s Big "Beautiful" Bill is hurting New Mexico’s revenue, just as we predicted.

Republicans prioritizing the biggest corporations over regular New Mexicans once again.
December 9, 2025 at 8:33 PM
Of course it’s not enough. Farmers want to farm, not get handouts after Trump wrecks their living.

This is a bad trade, not aid.

And remember, Trump gave Argentina $40 billion and their farmers are selling the soybeans American farmers can’t sell.
