U.S. Senator for NM. Husband, dad, hunter. Former Engineer/Current energy nerd. Respects hard work, NM values, & anyone w/a freezer full of wild game.
Trump defunded our public lands and now he’s using his reckless defunding to justify stripping protections from our National Monuments. Next stop…public lands selloff? Time to make some noise, people!
Now is not the time to hand the president a blank check while he is waging a reckless and illegal war with Iran. I voted no.
Hundreds of thousands of people are dead, with millions more threatened by 2030. That's Elon Musk's legacy.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it looks like we're in for another round of public land attacks from President Trump this week.
Lindsey Graham fought hard for the things he believed in. And while we disagreed on a lot, he was always willing to sit down, hear me out, and work across the aisle when we could, getting things done that mattered. My full statement below.
You can't protect endangered species while destroying the habitats they depend on to survive. By narrowing the definition of "harm" under the Endangered Species Act, this administration is making it harder to protect vulnerable wildlife and putting more species at risk of extinction.
👇 I used to guide in what today is now known as Bears Ears National Monument. It is one of the most spectacular natural and cultural landscapes on the planet. Places like Grand Gulch and Moon House ruin are the physical manifestation of our heritage as a nation.
We got it done. And I’ll keep fighting to lower costs for you.
This isn’t how it should be. If you work hard, you should be able to get ahead. But everything Trump does makes that harder. It’s the cost to fill up your tank or buy groceries because of his war with Iran. It’s the electricity bill skyrocketing because of his war on cheap, clean energy...
The story of America has always been one of people who believed our country could better live up to its founding promise—and rolled up their sleeves to make it happen. That's the work ahead of us, and it's work I'll never stop fighting for. Happy Fourth of July.
Our public lands are our birthright, and they're under attack. It's more important than ever to stand up for the places that belong to all of us. Great meeting with the climate experts and Olympians at Protect Our Winters to talk about continuing the work to do exactly that.
While Republicans consider cutting Social Security, I'm focused on strengthening it — for every New Mexican who has earned these benefits through a lifetime of hard work.
I am outraged by reports that DEA allowed fentanyl into our communities. When even a small amount can be deadly, failing to seize it presents an unconscionable risk to New Mexicans. I’m demanding an independent review of what happened, and I’ll stay on this until we’re sure things have changed.
Yesterday Congress passed a landmark housing bill to make housing more affordable. Today President Trump killed it. He’s made crystal clear his priorities, and it’s NOT you.
SunZia is proof that we can build big things in America. Its journey is also a reminder of how important real leadership and community buy-in are.
The Senate just passed the biggest housing bill in more than 30 years. It’s going to help build more homes, lower the cost of housing, and stop private equity from buying up single family homes. This is how we put home ownership back within reach.
I had a great time with students at LANL's Summer Physics Camp. Hearing all they've learned really underscored the importance of investing in our youth. I can't wait to see where these students end up.
Being a dad is the best job I’ve ever had. Happy Father’s Day to all the fathers and father-figures in New Mexico and across the country.
Small businesses are the backbone of New Mexico’s economy. Yesterday, I met with Councilor Nichole Rogers, the New Mexico Black Chamber of Commerce, and Black business leaders to hear directly how I can support them as their businesses grow and thrive.
We build the next generation of leaders by providing young people with opportunity. That's why I support programs like the State Department’s Congress-Bundestag Youth Exchange. It was great to meet with two NM students who completed the program and hear about their experience.
On Juneteenth and every day, I am committed to the work of achieving our nation's highest ideals of equality and justice for all. My statement:
One of the largest clean energy projects in U.S. history is now online–and it’s a milestone more than 18 years in the making. I’ve been fighting for it since I first came to Congress because I knew what it would mean for our energy future and New Mexico’s role in leading it.
American families are struggling to make ends meet and they have a President who is focused on getting YOU to pay for his vanity projects.
This is climate change…and so is the fact that you’re seeing your home insurance go through the roof.
If you ask me, every day is New Mexico Day. But today especially, I hope you get a chance to get outside and enjoy the beauty of the Land of Enchantment.
Bison are a critical part of our culture in New Mexico. It’s been ten years since my National Bison Legacy Act named Bison as our official National Mammal. I was proud to lead that effort and am still fighting to conserve this amazing species. 📸: © Thomas Szajner / WWF-US
This is the opposite of the program's intent. I know, because I wrote it. With energy prices skyrocketing, why would the Department of Energy make it harder for households to save around $1,000 annually?
Being an AmeriCorps volunteer inspired my career in public service. I'm proud to recognize New Mexicans’ service to their community and inspire the next generation to leave their mark by introducing a resolution designating today National Service and Conservation Corps Day.
Senate Republicans created a Trojan Horse to repeal the Roadless Rule. We need to raise our voices to push back!
