Healthcare is a human right! That’s why I’ve brought home millions for local hospitals, to build and expand behavioral health clinics, and for emergency services across the state. From Bernalillo to Belen, the East Mountains to Ft. Sumner to Sandia—these facilities will help save lives.

Make no mistake—the weaponizing of federal law enforcement to go after elected officials who the President deems as “political opponents” is a chilling and dangerous abuse of power that must be stopped. We stand in solidarity with Rep. Omar and the Somali American community, and Rep. McIver.
Today Trump’s Department of Homeland Security raided U.S. Congresswoman Rep. Ilhan Omar’s house in a gross abuse of power. This comes as DHS and DOJ have abused and weaponized their power to pursue Congresswoman Rep. LaMonica McIver for doing her job this last year. 

Make no mistake—the weaponizing of federal law enforcement to go after elected officials who the President deems as “political opponents” is a chilling and dangerous abuse of power that must be stopped. 

We stand in solidarity with Rep. Omar and the entire Somali American community which has been under attack by this President time and time again, and with Rep. McIver who is still fighting this abuse of power in the courts. 

We will not stay silent.

Education unlocks doors and opportunity! I’ve invested millions in early childhood education, K-12, mobile health clinics at schools, and investments in schools and colleges all across NM, and introduced legislation to increase teacher pay, and unlock opportunities for non-traditional students!

We know New Mexicans are strong and resilient, but struggling to get by—that is why EVERY DAY we’re fighting to address the costs of housing, food, other essentials & to rebuild our economy—because folks should be able to put food on the table, a roof over their head, & live with dignity & purpose!

Firefighters & first responders keep our communities safe. I’ve invested millions in fire & emergency services across our state. I secured millions with ABQ legislators for new fire engines & equipment, & helped pass the state law to ensure firefighters & first responders can get care for PTSD.

In New Mexico, service is a way of life. We’re deeply grateful for our Service Members, their families, & all of our veterans across the state. From Kirtland Air Force Base, to our National Guard, to every veteran across New Mexico—we’re working every day to support those who have worn the uniform.

-U.S. Service Members killed. -Hundreds wounded. -Thousands of civilians dead. And now he’s making flip comments about them taking out 2 American cities. Absolutely disgusting and abhorrent.   It’s past time to invoke the 25th Amendment. Will our Republican colleagues find the courage to do so?

As the President attacks the Kennedy Center, the free press, & the Smithsonian, his intentions are clear: He wants to rewrite our history, & control how it’s told. That’s why I joined Rep. Jackson and Rep. Mfume to introduce our Smithsonian Integrity Act: To keep our museums & history in OUR hands.

As a graduate alumna of Cornell University, I am disgusted and appalled by the rape and sexual assault allegations by Jane Doe, and stand with her and every student on campus demanding true accountability, justice, and a safe campus.
As a graduate alumna of Cornell University, I am disgusted and appalled by the rape and sexual assault allegations by Jane Doe, and stand with her and every student on campus demanding true accountability, justice, and a safe campus.

Institutional failures like those at Cornell and other universities—and those of the justice system in the Epstein case—are what perpetuate a culture of violence and exploitation of women and girls. Until we decide that the safety of survivors is more important than the comfort of the accused, there will be no safety for women and girls across this country. We stand with every survivor and demand accountability not just for Jane Doe, but for every victim of sexual violence.

Over the last year— over 5 million people, mostly seniors and kids have lost access to food assistance because of the cruel and inhumane policies of this Administration and their allies in Congress. How do we reverse the damage? ⬇️

Banning media from the White House is unAmerican and unconstitutional! That’s why a judge signed a restraining order TODAY ordering access be restored. Freedom of the press and free speech are first in our Bill of Rights. Standing in solidarity with all our press right now!

In New Mexico, 1 in 5 children face food insecurity while our state exports over 90% of our agricultural products and imports over 90% of our food.   If we’re serious about fixing hunger and getting food from our farmer to hungry families, we have to fix our broken food system.

Cancelling votes, refusing to conduct oversight—if you’re not willing to do your job, you shouldn’t have the job.   For 19 months, we’ve watched the GOP refuse to hold this Administration accountable. That’s why voting this November matters more than ever!
