Today I met with the newest director of the Hermit’s Peak/ Calf Canyon claims office. I made it clear that the office must deliver the remaining funds to New Mexicans impacted by the fire. It’s been a long road of recovery, but I will keep pushing to make sure everyone is paid what they’re owed.

Republicans are praising a “stock trading ban” that is fool’s gold — empty on the inside. We have an actual ban that would stop Trump and his friends from profiting off their positions. We should be lowering costs for families, not filling the President’s pockets.

Four years ago, the flames of the Hermit’s Peak/Calf Canyon Fire stopped. But our fight did not. We’ve made real progress, but too many survivors are still waiting for the money we secured. I won’t stop fighting until every family gets the chance to begin again.

The role of government is to protect us from greedy corporations. Data centers want our water, our land, and our power. Communities may want the jobs they could bring to New Mexico. But we will not give them a blank check.

On Sunday, we celebrated Route 66 and lowrider culture en comunidad. The Route 66 National Historic Trail Designation Act and my National Lowrider Day resolution honor the people and traditions that make this culture part of New Mexico’s story. Let’s make them the law of the land!

My bill will make sure the Navajo Nation, Taos Pueblo, and the Pueblos of Nambé, Pojoaque, San Ildefonso, and Tesuque are paid the money they are owed.

ICE shot Wilbur in his car in Austin yesterday. Now, his family doesn’t even know where he is. His family deserves answers. The American people deserve the truth. Release the body camera footage. Tell us where Wilbur is.

Republicans went home while the affordability crisis worsens and gas prices are through the roof. I am here ready to work to lower prices.

Women across the country are suffering from complications tied to healthcare restrictions every day. I will continue to fight for access to the life-saving care that we all deserve. Thank you, Planned Parenthood, for all that you do and for this award.

Trump’s inflation. Trump’s gas prices. Trump’s interest rate hike.

Trump Jr.’s wedding is just the latest example of the Trump gold collar crimes and corruption. Foreign influences have poured millions into the pockets of the president and his family. What did they ask for in return?

Agua es vida. Water is life and key to Tribal sovereignty. My bill passed committee today to help the Navajo Nation and Taos, Nambé, Pojoaque, San Ildefonso and Tesuque Pueblos recover lost settlement funds and build water infrastructure. Now, let’s pass the bill in the House!

Trump is using “New America” as a distraction from his corruption, rising prices and growing unpopularity. New Mexico existed long before Trump and will continue long after him.

A win for voters and for democracy. The Supreme Court just blocked the Trump administration from illegally restricting mail-in voting using the Postal Service. President Trump can’t make it harder for you to vote just because he’s scared of how you’ll vote.

Our farmers and ranchers were already hurting. Farm bankruptcies jumped 46% last year and drought is hitting them hard. Now, Trump’s war has sent diesel prices to the highest level in American history. No one can afford Trump.

First it was $5,000 DOGE checks. Then it was $2,000 “tariff refund” checks. Then it was $1,000+ checks with "savings" from taking away ACA tax credits. Americans never saw a dime.

Protecting our water is a number one priority for me! An investigation that I filed, is currently underway to find out if fire retardant contaminated the ground water. Our community deserves real accountability, and the agencies responsible must be transparent.

Route 66 is truly iconic and New Mexico might be its most colorful stretch. It’s not just a highway but a living piece of American history, and every year more of it fades. Protecting Route 66 means keeping these stories alive. I support my bipartisan legislation to protect this important road.

Republicans think it’s “cute” to stop foreign companies from mining American resources and minerals. I think that foreign adversaries should not get to mine our public lands and resources—much less for free.

August took me across my beautiful district, to listen to the stories of New Mexicans as we battle wildfires, water insecurity, and Trump’s affordability crisis. Here’s a recap:

I just met with the incident team leading the firefighting of the Frijoles Fire. Here’s what they told me.

Four years after the Hermits Peak/Calf Canyon Fire, families are still living with the aftermath: elevated heavy metals showing up in their groundwater. I am pushing the Government Accountability Office to investigate whether the fire retardants used are soaking into the our watersheds.

Sacred, beautiful places like the Caja del Rio make us feel awe. They make us feel connected to each other and the land. We must protect the beautiful landscapes and the history and culture that has been around for thousands of years.

No one should fear getting deported after their doctor’s appointment, at church, or at school. Trump’s cruel immigration quotas and indiscriminate raids need to stop. We will not be silent when members of our community are targeted and children are separated from their families.

I’m on my way to the Torrance County Detention Facility to inspect it and ask questions about why ICE took a child’s parents and left her stranded in the parking lot of a health clinic in Santa Fe today. This cruelty has no place in our communities.

As the fire burns, I wanted to lend a hand to families in northern New Mexico. It’s amazing to see how our community comes together in times of need. Today in Chimayo, tomorrow anywhere New Mexican families need it.

Las mujeres estamos cambiando la cultura del congreso simplemente con nuestra presencia. Como presidenta del comité de mujeres demócratas @demwomencaucus.bsky.social es mi deber denunciar el acoso sexual en el congreso. Un abusador es un abusador, no importa su partido político.

10,000 kids in New Mexico are already going hungry thanks to Trump.

While hard working families can’t afford groceries, Trump gave billionaires a $2.3 trillion tax cut in the same bill.

This is a Trojan Horse with the SAVE Act tucked inside a bill that lets members keep stocks, sell stocks, get more stocks and doesn’t put any limits on a corrupt President who made billions from stock and crypto trading.

Rep. Teresa Leger Fernández @fernandez.house.gov · 21/07/2026
Instead of fighting corruption, Republicans introduced a FAKE stock trading ban in the Rules Committee. Let’s stop playing games and vote on a real ban. Democrats have a bill that would actually stop insider trading in Congress.

Trump doesn’t care about you or your needs. He’s still mad that he lost the election in 2020. Trump knows Americans are tired of high prices & forever wars so instead of changing policy he wants to change our democracy — purge elegible voters, push a voter suppression bill & scare you.

🚨 BREAKING: The Trump admin is proposing to revoke the 10-mile withdrawal around Chaco Canyon. Sec Burgum gave me his word that he would send an official with decision-making authority to conduct in-person, individual tribal consultation with each tribe that has an interest in Chaco. He has not.

Trump’s terror regime just took a second life this month. A month ago, Republicans gave ICE $70 billion more so they could keep killing and terrorizing our communities. We must not accept this as normal.

If your water was contaminated because of the Hermit’s Peak/Calf Canyon fire in Mora, San Miguel, Colfax, Lincoln, or Valencia counties you may qualify for funding to repair your water system or install water treatment equipment.
