Thanks @jennburrill.bsky.social !!
During her 1st #nmleg session in January, @sarahsilva.bsky.social moved to broaden protections for journalists and their sources in New Mexico amid fears of government overreach.
This recognition for her free speech advocacy is well deserved

The Trump Administration and House Republicans in Washington are planning to make you give up more money so their rich buddies can get wealthier.

Hey folks! I had the chance to talk with Jonny Coker at KRWG Public Media about the legislative session. He asked thoughtful questions about the governor’s veto of my bill that would have brought transparency to lobbying and other issues including public safety and medical malpractice reform. /1

Still time to call the governor and ask her to sign HB143! (505) 476-2200.
"Information matters in our highly partisan and divided society." - the Santa Fe New Mexican on the importance of HB 143, sponsored by Rep. @sarahsilva.bsky.social.

Who foots the bill for lobbyists? We could find out
Because of U.S. Supreme Court decisions making the spending of money in politics equal to free speech, it’s impossible to keep money out of politics and the passing of laws.

I went to the Hands Off protest in Las Cruces. At least 1,000 people were there to rally and protect our Social Security, our public lands and our Constitution.
I took an oath to protect and defend the US and NM constitutions, and I take that pretty damn seriously. I’m glad so many us do too.

Requiring transparency from lobbyists who help decide whether legislation passes or fails would be so good for our state. I urge you to contact the governor’s office at (505) 476-2200 or governor.state.nm.us/contact-the-governor and ask that she sign House Bill 143 into law. /1

As many of you have heard, there was a mass shooting at Young park in Las Cruces last night. It happened just after 10 p.m. while we were in the Roundhouse doing our work on the last night of the session. Three people are dead, including a 16-year-old boy, and 15 were injured. /1

Hello House District 53 and Southern NM! The session is about to end, and in 60 days we were able to accomplish a lot for New Mexico. I’m planning on organizing a couple of town halls to talk about issues more in-depth in the coming months.

I have the best news! The House “concurred” with the Senate last night on House bill 143! That means they agreed with a Senate amendment, and the bill now heads to the governor.
