This is my 14th session of the NM Legislature. Every session seems to have a personality. Some sessions were “la-de-da”, some were contentious with legislators fighting over everything. So far this session feels like the “hope and possibility” session. Everything still seems possible.

The 2026 NMLegislative Session starts on Tuesday. I spent Friday at Organ Mt. High School (where I retired from teaching). The students ask great questions and are concerned about their future. They remind me why I am in Santa Fe for the next month and who I try to represent. I’m ready for session.

As the year ends, let me thank public school teachers who, under difficult circumstances, are doing their best to educate our kids.

If this country is to flourish, we need the best education system in the world. Let’s fight for a nation where teachers are well-paid & respected.

I’m still struggling with the fact that ICE “brown shirts” went to a taco shop and thought they would get served.

Hey rest of the United States!Head’s up! New Mexico oilman Steve Pearce is going to be nominated to lead the BLM. Millions of acres of pristine BLM land is vulnerable to mining & oil exploitation. Unleashed Steve will destroy our public lands. Call your reps and senators and block his appointment.
