Dolores Huerta was a shining beacon in the darkness. She led countless people in the fight for better wages, safer working conditions, and a seat at the table.

Our veterans should never have to worry about where their next meal will come from.

But Republican cuts to SNAP are putting food assistance at risk for veterans who need it. That’s unacceptable. I’m fighting to restore food programs and make sure no veteran, child, or senior goes hungry.

Meta misled consumers about the privacy of their personal information, and now it's being held accountable. I'm proud of NM for standing up for consumers, and I'll keep fighting to give New Mexicans more control over their data and make sure Big Tech's profits don't come at the expense of privacy.

More than 1M of you fought back against the Trump administration by making your voices heard.

We cannot let up in the fight to preserve the Roadless Rule, which protects our forests, wildlife, and watersheds and supports NM’s outdoor recreation economy. Keep showing up and making your voices heard.

ICE is terrorizing our communities, making people afraid to go to work or even step outside.

This isn’t making our communities safer. Republicans wrote ICE a blank check, enabling reckless thugs to terrorize our neighbors. They own the chaos and fear they’ve unleashed across America.
