Join the Building Resiliency Center tomorrow at 3:30 PM for a workshop on how to access these funds.
Do you need help with a federal agency? My office is the WD-40 of the government, we can help unstick issues with Social Security benefits, veteran benefits, tax returns, and more! Stop by walk-in hours tomorrow in Santa Fe.
Republicans shut down Congress with their infighting, but that means I get to go back to beautiful New Mexico, where we believe every American citizen should be able to vote with ease. Thanks for all the birthday messages!
Trump is now refusing to sign a bipartisan bill that would increase housing supply and prevent private equity from buying up residential homes. Americans are struggling. We need to pass this bill. He doesn’t care.
Republicans are hoping to pass their TAKING BENEFITS FROM AMERICA'S VETERANS ACT before veterans realize it cuts tens of BILLIONS in future disability benefits, increases VA home-loan fees, expands privatization of VA health care, and hurts them. Let’s make sure everyone knows the truth.
Republicans want to give ICE $70,000,000,000 of YOUR dollars today. The Senate is still voting on the bill. We’ll be fighting like hell in the Rules Committee when we receive it. We’ll keep you updated.
BREAKING: Democrats just forced a vote to end Trump’s war in Iran. It passed. We’re one step closer to peace and lower prices.
Hundreds of ranchers and farmers signed a letter telling Republicans how Trump’s agriculture cuts are hurting them. Today, they’re cutting funding again.
LGBTQ+ New Mexicans have left their mark on our beautiful and beautifully diverse state. This month we celebrate their lives, creativity, and contributions to American culture as well as those of all LGBTQ+ Americans.
While millions of Americans struggle to afford gas and groceries, Trump is focused on illegally building a $1 billion ballroom for his rich friends. I'm joining the legal fight to stop it.
Grateful to spend Memorial Day in community in Española honoring the memory and sacrifice of those who lost everything in the pursuit of a more perfect union.
Indigenous women deserve to live without fear. My bipartisan BADGES for Native Communities Act would improve investigations into missing persons cases and keep communities safe.
Land grants are a unique part of New Mexico’s herencia and cultura. My bill, the New Mexico Land- Grant-Mercedes Historical or Traditional Use Cooperation and Coordination Act, would help preserve that beautiful way of life for generations.
The bill to build the Women’s History Museum had bipartisan support, but Republicans poisoned it. They want to give Trump and his ballroom buddies the power to tell our story.
This week we celebrate 61 years of Head Start and its impact on more than 40 million children, families, and communities. Early childhood education gives our children a strong foundation. That’s an investment in opportunity, American communities, and our future.
Congratulations to our 2026 Congressional Art Competition winner and runner ups! The winning piece will hang in our nation’s Capitol for all visitors to see. What wonderful way to spread New Mexico’s magic.
Caja del Rio is a precious place that brings together the diverse histories of New Mexicans. We stand in awe of a landscape marked by time and tradition. @heinrich.senate.gov and I have introduced a bill to protect the Caja and make it loud and clear that Caja is not for sale.
¡Feliz dia de las madres a todas las mamás de Nuevo Mexico! Mothers are the backbone of our communities. Let’s cherish and protect them. Happy Mother’s Day! ❤️
This is what it looks like to support our farmers and our families: You can now TRIPLE your SNAP dollars when you purchase at your local farmers markets until 8/31.
Republicans love to stand with the biggest corporations instead of you. This time, they’re trying to shield pesticide companies from people who they may have poisoned. We won’t stand for it.
A contract with the federal government used to be gold. Now family farms are struggling due to federal policy passed by Republicans and backed by the president.
Trump and Republicans’ cuts are destroying the rural economy. Now, they want to pass a Farm Bill that cuts the programs that help our farmers and ranchers survive the crises they created.
This is what hunger looks like in America. While families are writing notes like this at food banks across the country, Republicans are pushing a Farm Bill that locks in the largest SNAP cut in history. $187 BILLION ripped away from people just trying to eat—that’s Republicans priority next week.
Republicans are hurting rural America and trying to give themselves a pat on the back for it. Their resolution does nothing to fix the problems their “Big Beautiful Bill” created for rural hospitals.
It’s tax day. Your tax dollars should work for you, not for billionaires.
