From visiting one of my favorite places—the Bernalillo Feed Store (Frank’s!)—to joining the Bernalillo Historical Society and Mayor Torres at the Community Museum to talk about the history of the town, to talking policy with State Senator Cindy Nava, a day spent in Bernalillo is a day well spent! ❤️💛

Why is the GOP not scheduling a vote in the House THIS WEEK?? The lives of millions of Americans are on the line. This is literally life or death.

We wanted to kick off the week by sharing some the joyful moments from the naturalization ceremony we attended last week.

In NM, service is a way of life, and generations of families have worn the uniform. We are working to meet the needs of our veterans, so every veteran can thrive.
Grateful to appear before the Veterans Affairs Committee yesterday to talk about this commitment to service, right before leaving DC. 💙

Friends—the clock is ticking. There’s no more time for “concepts of a plan.” It’s time to extend ACA health subsidies before millions lose their healthcare. We’re ready to get a fix across the finish line. Are you?

55 years ago, Cesar Chavez was jailed for refusing to end a boycott on farms that used union-busting tactics on migrant farm workers.
Today, our Latino and migrant communities are again facing discrimination, harassment, and violence. I am working to ensure our home is a safe place for everyone. ❤️
