New Mexico is the first state in the nation to offer free childcare regardless of income!

I love representing the Organ Mountains. I see all the plants and animals who live there as part of my constituency. I will do what I can to protect our national monument.
Thanks to all the neighbors who came out today!

I joined more than a hundred Southern New Mexicans in proclaiming our love for our Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks National monument this morning.
We will stand up to protect our lands where we hunt, hike, celebrate and pray.

The Trump administration wants to sell off public lands to the highest bidder, and is targeting the Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks National Monument specifically.

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

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.

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.

In the tradition of the journalists I’m seeking to protect, I’m going to get right to the news: House Bill 153, my legislation to update the state’s outdated shield law that protects journalists, won’t be enacted this session.
