Wastewater treatment is essential to the health of our communities. That’s why I delivered funding for the city of Lovington to make much needed upgrades to their plant!

On Wednesday I met with the first responders in San Juan County working around the clock to protect their communities.

I was happy to hear that the fire truck and mobile command unit that I got funding for played an important role in rescues and evacuations. I listened to the counties needs.

Last week, more than 2,000 people were displaced after terrible floods in North West New Mexico.

I travelled to Shiprock to check in with the local government and see how the community is holding up.

The road to recovery will be long but we will be there at every step of the way.

I just got to visit the Shuler Theater in Raton.

It reminded me of the first time I visited and sat with Veterans hearing their concerns.

I will always support our veterans and work to keep the services that they earned open and funded.

The City of Santa Fe has issued a citywide shelter-in-place order following severe weather that caused significant damage.

The San Juan and Animas rivers are expected to crest with historic flooding later today.

Communities across San Juan County are at risk. If you are told to evacuate please do so.

Last week, I spent some time in Hobbs to tell New Mexicans what I’ve been working on in Congress. I had some great conversations with KIX 106 and KLMA Radio.

I stopped by Covenant Hospital to spread the word about RECA compensation and how to apply.

Money cannot bring back loved ones or erase the pain of illness, but this compensation is a small apology from the federal government for radiation poisoning.

Roads and transportation infrastructure are vital to our local economies, ranchers, and communities.

I am delivering funding across the district —including in Raton— for transportation projects, making sure that no community is left behind.

Looking back at Republicans’ priorities this year, I’m thinking about how much time they spent trying to pass this voter suppression bill through Congress.

I’ve been driving some of the scenic roads of my beautiful district and enjoying the fall colors.

Gas is too expensive for everyone to be able to enjoy the colorful roads of Nuevo Mexico! I will continue to fight to bring down costs for all New Mexicans.

Do you qualify for RECA? The UNM Cancer Center can help you with the application process.

Stop by their clinic any Friday from today until April 30.

Small rural communities are feeling the impact of rising prices as costs have gone through the roof due to Trump’s war.

I have voted against the war and will continue to fight to end it and bring down costs.
