This is what they’re fighting for. This is what WE’RE fighting for. Are you with us in standing up against a foreign-owned uranium mining company coming in and destroying the Rio Chama watershed?

Senator Ben Ray Luján @lujan.senate.gov · 01/10/2026

President Trump promised to lower costs on day one. It’s just another broken promise. New Mexicans are paying the price for Trump’s never-ending war and reckless trade war.

The countdown is ON! Only 7 more days until the Albuquerque sky is lit up with the most incredible balloons. Will we see you there?

Senator Ben Ray Luján @lujan.senate.gov · 25/09/2026

I was proud to pass this legislative victory in the Senate for those who have cared for our lands for hundreds of years. Now more than ever, we need better communication and consultation between land grant-merced communities and the federal government.

Senator Ben Ray Luján @lujan.senate.gov · 10/09/2026

It was an honor to provide the keynote at the @nmsu.edu Domenici Public Policy Conference. Senator Domenici showed that bipartisanship isn’t about agreeing on everything. It’s about finding common ground and getting things done for folks at home. That’s the NM tradition I’m proud to carry forward.

Senator Ben Ray Luján @lujan.senate.gov · 10/09/2026

I’m leading the NM Congressional Delegation in calling on Apple and Google to keep New Mexico as New Mexico on their maps. President Trump has no legal authority to rename our state. New Mexico’s name belongs to our people – not the president. The companies have until Sept 18 to publicly commit.

New Mexico wouldn’t be New Mexico without our chile, pecans, or pistachios. Specialty crop producers around the country grow all of the iconic and nutritious foods that keep Americans healthy and happy.

2124

Senator Ben Ray Luján @lujan.senate.gov · 06/09/2026

It’s New Mexico, always has been and always will be. Just like how you’ll always be a sinvergüenza and corrupt.

I was in Rio Arriba County yesterday and had one clear message from New Mexicans: our public lands are NOT for sale!

Senator Ben Ray Luján @lujan.senate.gov · 07/08/2026

The Voting Rights Act was signed into law 61 years ago today to break down barriers to the ballot box. Republicans are trying to reverse that progress. Their so-called SAVE Act would make it harder for millions of eligible Americans to vote.

2168

Senator Ben Ray Luján @lujan.senate.gov · 05/08/2026

Taking food from 5 million Americans – including 1.5 million children – is nothing to be proud of.

2248

Senator Ben Ray Luján @lujan.senate.gov · 03/08/2026

Americans deserve to know that no one is above the law, especially the President of the United States. The Department of Justice must protect the people – not those who break the law.

Over 200,000 of you made your voice heard for Chaco! The fight doesn’t end here. Follow here for more updates on the process and how you can continue to help protect Chaco.

Senator Ben Ray Luján @lujan.senate.gov · 30/07/2026

On the 61st anniversary of Medicaid and Medicare, Donald Trump and Republicans have made it clear: they don't care about your health care.

Senator Ben Ray Luján @lujan.senate.gov · 28/07/2026

Chaco Canyon is NOT for sale. You have until TOMORROW to submit a public comment and help protect this sacred site. Submit your public comment now: eplanning.blm.gov/Project-Home...

12614

Senator Ben Ray Luján @lujan.senate.gov · 22/07/2026

Today, I stood with the All Pueblo Council of Governors and the New Mexico Congressional Delegation with one clear message for Donald Trump: Chaco Canyon is not for sale. Once Trump damages the land around Chaco, it cannot be undone.

23516

Senator Ben Ray Luján @lujan.senate.gov · 20/07/2026

9 more days to make it clear to Donald Trump: keep your hands off Chaco and our public lands! Make your voice heard; link in the comments.

Senator Ben Ray Luján @lujan.senate.gov · 20/07/2026

14 days to save Chaco Canyon from the Trump administration! Let’s make our voices heard.

Senator Ben Ray Luján @lujan.senate.gov · 17/07/2026

I miss my friend, especially now. Whenever you would call John on the phone and reached his voicemail, he would end with, “Don’t take your eye off the prize.” America: don’t for a second take your eyes off what Republicans are doing to undermine our elections. The time to use your voice is now.

Senator Ben Ray Luján @lujan.senate.gov · 05/07/2026

Happy Fourth of July, New Mexico! 🇺🇸 As we celebrate 250 years of independence, let's remember that America's story has always been one of choosing freedom over tyranny and democracy over kings. We've come too far to go back.

2195

Senator Ben Ray Luján @lujan.senate.gov · 05/07/2026

I took this photo a year ago when Senate Democrats were on the floor for nearly 24 hours straight, fighting back against President Trump’s Budget Betrayal. Congressional Republicans weren’t working for the American people that day – only billionaires and large corporations.

Senator Ben Ray Luján @lujan.senate.gov · 02/07/2026

I had the opportunity to sit down with Matthew Bernabe, a local business owner who truly embodies what it means to serve our communities.

1105

Senator Ben Ray Luján @lujan.senate.gov · 01/07/2026

If you’re born on American soil, you’re an American citizen. Period.

2267

Senator Ben Ray Luján @lujan.senate.gov · 26/06/2026

New Mexico wouldn’t be New Mexico without our chile. That’s why I introduced the CHILE Act – to make sure our chile growers and specialty crop producers have the support they need to keep growing, creating jobs, and feeding our communities.

Senator Ben Ray Luján @lujan.senate.gov · 26/06/2026

The DEA knowingly let as many as 1.8 million fentanyl pills poison New Mexico's streets. Fentanyl has stolen children from New Mexican families. I'm fighting for answers and accountability. This evil drug has no place in America.

Senator Ben Ray Luján @lujan.senate.gov · 15/06/2026

The Monumental Loop in southern NM was just named a top candidate for federal recognition under the BOLT Act, the legislation I championed to strengthen outdoor recreation.This route showcases our state's stunning landscapes, and recognition would bring the resources to help more people enjoy it.

Senator Ben Ray Luján @lujan.senate.gov · 05/06/2026

While you were asleep, Republicans sold you out. This is a betrayal of New Mexico families

Senator Ben Ray Luján @lujan.senate.gov · 02/06/2026

When asked about negotiations with Iran, Donald Trump said he “couldn’t care less” and called them “very boring.” Our men and women in uniform deserve a Commander in Chief who understands the consequences of war and takes them seriously. Shame on you.

1203

Senator Ben Ray Luján @lujan.senate.gov · 29/05/2026

After decades of fighting for the victims of the Trinity Test and uranium workers, Congress passed my legislation to extend and expand RECA. For too long, these communities were denied the recognition and compensation they deserved.

2193

Senator Ben Ray Luján @lujan.senate.gov · 26/05/2026

Donald Trump is STILL conniving his way into setting up a private slush fund of $1,800,000,000 tax dollars to pay criminals who tried to overthrow our democracy. Absolutely despicable.

21335130

Senator Ben Ray Luján @lujan.senate.gov · 20/05/2026

Not a single one of Trump’s ridiculous grift projects is lowering fuel prices, cutting grocery bills, or helping families keep up with rising costs. Americans are struggling to afford the basics while Trump focuses on enriching himself and his inner circle.

12514

Senator Ben Ray Luján @lujan.senate.gov · 14/05/2026

Donald Trump is trying to sell off the Chama and Carson National Forests to the highest bidder for uranium mining. New Mexicans have had ENOUGH of the federal government turning our public lands into toxic, hazardous sites that threaten families, livestock, and clean water.

43014

Senator Ben Ray Luján @lujan.senate.gov · 23/04/2026

Not only are Republicans trying to pass a budget resolution that does nothing to make things more affordable for Americans, they’ve also blocked my amendment to feed children, seniors, and veterans.

612543

Senator Ben Ray Luján @lujan.senate.gov · 22/04/2026

Republicans gutted Medicaid, now RFK is lying to your face about it.

2197

Senator Ben Ray Luján @lujan.senate.gov · 22/04/2026

Communities of the Chama Valley have cared for this land and water for generations. President Trump thinks he can come in and sell off our public lands to the highest bidder for uranium mining, but he’s wrong. There is only one Chama – it is our sacred responsibility to protect it.

3146

Senator Ben Ray Luján @lujan.senate.gov · 21/04/2026

I’m standing with countless advocates and Northern New Mexicans to protect the Chama from the Trump administration.

Senator Ben Ray Luján @lujan.senate.gov · 14/04/2026

BLM plans to release a Draft Environmental Assessment in the coming months, followed by just 14 days for public input. 14 days to save a 1,000+ year old heritage site? Follow for more updates and when the public comment period will start. Let’s keep fighting to protect Chaco.

1205

Senator Ben Ray Luján @lujan.senate.gov · 14/04/2026

Trump’s Bureau of Land Management is once again trying to fast-track decisions that impact Chaco Canyon, a 1,000+ year-old sacred cultural and historical site, with an outrageously short public comment period. They think we aren’t paying attention.

46026

Senator Ben Ray Luján @lujan.senate.gov · 14/04/2026

It was great to have AG Raúl Torrez in the office today. We spoke about the issues that are top of mind for NMs – out-of-state legal firms who prey on NMs for financial gain, kids’ online safety, and justice for wildfire victims. We will never stop fighting to make things better for our state.

2192

Senator Ben Ray Luján @lujan.senate.gov · 30/03/2026

Trump is spending ONE BILLION dollars a day on a war that’s driving up the cost of gas, food, and electricity. He lied about bringing down prices on day one.

65612

Senator Ben Ray Luján @lujan.senate.gov · 30/03/2026

New Mexico Wild was in my office last week to talk about protecting the Gila River – one of our state’s most treasured landscapes. I’m fighting to protect our lands, safeguard our rivers, and make sure New Mexico’s natural heritage is preserved for generations to come.

0263

Senator Ben Ray Luján @lujan.senate.gov · 20/03/2026

President Trump wants to rig the election. I'm fighting back. Read my piece in the Santa Fe New Mexican: www.santafenewmexican.com/opinion/my_v...

Senator Ben Ray Luján @lujan.senate.gov · 19/03/2026

Just heard from a constituent in Albuquerque who paid nearly $60 just to fill up his tank. Families are already stretched thin, and President Trump’s war is making things even worse at the gas pump.

1197

Senator Ben Ray Luján @lujan.senate.gov · 19/03/2026

DHS is facing a real crisis of accountability. Even the Republican Chairman warned Senator Mullin would set “a terrible example” for ICE and Border Patrol agents. I’m fighting to protect our rights, keep our communities safe, and hold this administration accountable. I will vote NO on Sen. Mullin.

3331579

Senator Ben Ray Luján @lujan.senate.gov · 06/03/2026

Yesterday, I met with the NM Farm and Livestock Bureau to talk about how Congress can better support our farmers and ranchers. Farming is at the heart of New Mexico, and our farmers and ranchers are essential to our communities. I will always fight to make sure they have the support they need.
