The best way Congress can honor and thank America’s veterans is by passing solutions to improve their quality of life.
Happy Veterans Day.
America’s veterans sacrifice so much to protect our way of life, and when they return home, they deserve equitable access to the care, resources, and benefits they have earned.
I’ll keep passing bills to honor their service, and I am grateful to each and every one of New Mexico’s veterans today and every day.
I’m back to work in D.C. this week and proud to have been elected to serve as Vice Chair of the @NewDemCoalition.
I’m looking forward to working with the new Chair @RepNikkiB and my fellow Vice Chairs, @RepKimSchrier, @RepGregLandsman, and @RepStricklandWA.
Together, we will lead commonsense Democrats forward and deliver on the clear message from the election. We must end the Iran war, lower costs, and fix our immigration system.
With my Careworker Visa Act, we can bring down the cost of childcare and eldercare for ALL Americans while giving critical careworkers a path to legal status. It’s win-win, it’s common sense, and it’s time to lower costs and fix our broken immigration system.

Trump said yesterday that his mass deportation policy was perhaps a bit “too tough” and that he’d be willing to work with Democrats on new policy for immigrant workers.
My Strengthening Our Workforce Act and Careworker Visa Act give folks opportunities to have legal status in this country, live with dignity and security, and support the U.S. economy.
@POTUS, ready to get to work?
The President's decision to install Stephen Miller, the architect of family separation and ICE's violent mass deportation campaign, as his new Chief of Staff is appalling. This goes directly against the message the American people sent in this week's elections, and it is disgraceful.

For most New Mexicans, housing is the most expensive line item in the monthly budget, and it doesn’t matter what side of the political aisle you’re on — we can all agree the current affordability crisis is leaving folks underwater.
That’s why I helped pass the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, the largest bipartisan housing package in decades.
New Mexico has a complicated nuclear history, and if we fail to learn from our history we are doomed to repeat it.
I’ve passed bills to expand RECA and support our downwinder communities in Congress, and I’ll continue to deliver for them until they all get what they deserve.

Happy Halloween!
Make sure to plan your trick-or-treating routes ahead of time and give your kids reflective gear and glowsticks to keep them safe tonight.

In Socorro and its many surrounding counties, veterans and military families struggle to access services and get basic assistance with their benefits because the nearest vet clinic, vet center or VA Medical Center is hours away.
I’m introducing a bill to fix that. My Socorro Vet Center Act would build a brand new facility in Socorro to provide free, confidential social and psychological support to veterans, service members and their families, following on the work of veterans in the community who have come together to do the job themselves.
Pete is truly a hero — and an active force in New Mexico’s veteran community, sharing his story to bring awareness to the greatest issues impacting veterans.
On behalf of the people of New Mexico’s Second Congressional District, I would like to thank Pete for his service to our country and his commitment to ensuring our brave men and women receive the care and support they deserve.

New Mexico’s water, air, and resources belong to us, not to mega-billionaires who see us as a line item on their balance sheet.
I’ve consistently come out against data centers cutting backdoor deals without community input in New Mexico.
New Mexico should absolutely compete for the jobs and technology of the future, but we are not going to sell out our water, our clean air, or our way of life to do it. I’ll continue to hold big tech accountable.

Life for working New Mexicans is too damn expensive.
I’ve proposed many bipartisan solutions to help lower costs, and I’ll continue fighting for New Mexico and gathering support regardless of party politics.
In Congress, I’m focused on keeping our communities safe.
That’s why I’ve delivered over $3.4 million in federal funding for law enforcement in our district.

Today, the world lost a legend with the passing of Dolores Huerta.
Born in New Mexico, Huerta went on to become one of the most formidable champions for civil rights and workers’ rights our country has ever seen. She gave voice to women, Latinos, and working-class people at a time when too many were silenced and denied a seat at the table — and America is better for her fight.
May we always remember her for her bravery, vision, and leadership, and may we never forget the power of the people she fought so hard to protect. Sí, se puede.

I'm proud to work with organizations like @nmwild to support our public lands, healthy wildlife, and better-managed landscapes. Thank you for your advocacy for New Mexico’s land, water and heritage.
