Like you, I’m tired of data centers disrespecting our communities. Here’s what I’m doing about the Meta data center being built across the street from folks in Chaparral.

I’m standing in front of the site where Project Jupiter is being built to invite the developers to abandon their plans, pack their things, and leave Doña Ana County for good.

I am writing to invite the developers of Project Jupiter to abandon their plans, pack their things, and leave Doña Ana County for good. I’m serious. As an early supporter of this project because of the jobs and infrastructure it promised, I’m fed up with the dishonesty, broken promises and threats.

Doña Ana Community College is hosting two trainings this week in Las Cruces and Sunland Park to help New Mexicans get into high-paying jobs building Project Jupiter. There are 300 positions with a starting salary of $27-33 per hour. If you need a job, here’s a great opportunity.

I was bitten by a dog while campaigning in Chaparral on Election Day in 2024. It wasn’t the dog’s fault. We have a responsibility to create systems and communities where animals, just like people, are safe and can thrive. /1

My husband and I spend a lot of time outdoors. We hike, forage and hunt. We own a few acres of land in the mountains. We study the health of the ecosystems with observations and trail cameras and have documented the ongoing collapse in Southern New Mexico. /1

My family has advanced in two generations from farmworkers to mechanics, engineers, and an elected state representative. I’ve been a proud union member and my family has benefitted from continuing education programs. Both help workers build careers and families find stability.

New video shows the man who was killed moments before the shooting. He was peacefully standing in the street observing before ICE agents started pushing him for no reason.

Even though the legislative session doesn’t begin until next week, I’m already in Santa Fe. That’s because the House Appropriations and Finance Committee starts meeting a week early. The work of crafting a budget doesn’t fit into a 30-day session.

The Trump administration wants to sell off public lands to the highest bidder, and is targeting the Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks National Monument specifically.

The Trump Administration and House Republicans in Washington are planning to make you give up more money so their rich buddies can get wealthier. Call your state representatives and senators tell them to stand up for you. www.nmlegis.gov/Members/Find...

Hey folks! I had the chance to talk with Jonny Coker at KRWG Public Media about the legislative session. He asked thoughtful questions about the governor’s veto of my bill that would have brought transparency to lobbying and other issues including public safety and medical malpractice reform. /1

Hello, I want to let you all know that the governor vetoed House Bill 143, the lobbyist activity report legislation I sponsored with Senator Jeff Steinborn.

I went to the Hands Off protest in Las Cruces. At least 1,000 people were there to rally and protect our Social Security, our public lands and our Constitution. I took an oath to protect and defend the US and NM constitutions, and I take that pretty damn seriously. I’m glad so many us do too. 👊🇺🇸🔥

Rep. Sarah Silva @sarahsilva.bsky.social · 28/03/2025
Requiring transparency from lobbyists who help decide whether legislation passes or fails would be so good for our state. I urge you to contact the governor’s office at (505) 476-2200 or governor.state.nm.us/contact-the-governor and ask that she sign House Bill 143 into law. /1

As many of you have heard, there was a mass shooting at Young park in Las Cruces last night. It happened just after 10 p.m. while we were in the Roundhouse doing our work on the last night of the session. Three people are dead, including a 16-year-old boy, and 15 were injured. /1

Hello House District 53 and Southern NM! The session is about to end, and in 60 days we were able to accomplish a lot for New Mexico. I’m planning on organizing a couple of town halls to talk about issues more in-depth in the coming months.

I have the best news! The House “concurred” with the Senate last night on House bill 143! That means they agreed with a Senate amendment, and the bill now heads to the governor.
