I’ll never forget the stories I’ve heard from families in southern New Mexico who still carry the pain of the Trinity Test. For 80 years, our communities have paid the price of nuclear testing with sickness, loss, and silence.

As a representative of a district on the southern border with a majority Hispanic population, I am using my expertise to lead Congress toward the commonsense, pro-safety immigration solutions our country desperately needs.

A federal court confirmed what we already knew — the administration is breaking the law by refusing to fund SNAP. That decision is hurting working families across New Mexico. There’s no excuse for letting our kids go hungry while $5 billion sits unused.

There is absolutely no reason for the administration to withhold SNAP benefits from New Mexican families.

So glad to have been home in Las Cruces for this year’s SkyFiesta — honoring the 80th anniversary of WWII with legendary aircraft, veteran crews, and a spectacular twilight airshow. 🇺🇸Grateful to celebrate our history, our heroes, and the spirit of flight right here in southern New Mexico.

No matter who you voted for, I’m here to listen. Thank you to everyone who joined me for coffee on Saturday to talk about the shutdown, ICE enforcement, health care, education, and more. Your voices guide everything I do in Washington.

DOI’s decision to open the Coastal Plain of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge for oil and gas drilling is, at best, misguided and, at worst, catastrophic.

New Mexico cattlegrowers get up everyday to get beef on our tables, and the last thing they need is an administration that favors the cattle industry in Argentina over our own domestic producers. Enough. Let’s support our own ranchers.

Yes! Speaker Johnson — it’s time to bring Republicans back to work, reopen the government, and pass this bipartisan ban on congressional stock trading. New Mexicans deserve leaders that work for them, not to enrich themselves.

What we’re seeing from ICE — violent arrests, racial profiling, and U.S. citizens’ rights violated — is unacceptable. We can keep our communities safe without cruelty. Our immigration system should be rooted in dignity, fairness, and humanity.

When local law enforcement speaks, we listen.
Chief Medina is right — recruiting officers away from their communities is desperate and disrespectful.
Let local police do their jobs and keep our neighborhoods safe. Taking officers off our streets makes New Mexico less secure.

In New Mexico, Latinas are the backbone of our communities — running small businesses, teaching our kids, and driving our economy. Yet they’re still paid far less than their counterparts. It’s time to close the pay gap and ensure every Latina is paid what she deserves. #LatinaEqualPay #Trabajadoras

Thousands of national park staff remain furloughed without pay, our parks are losing $1M a day in revenue, and nearby communities are losing $80M in visitor spending. Families are locked out, workers are left behind, and park resources are unprotected.

During a government shutdown, 22,000 federal workers in New Mexico could miss paychecks. I’m ready to work across the aisle and find real solutions that re-open the government and protect Americans’ health care.
