New Mexico—it’s time!!! In about 12 hours, early voting begins across the state at your county clerk and other locations. I’m here at the Bernalillo County Clerk’s Annex, which opens tomorrow in downtown ABQ to remind you to vote! 🇺🇸🗳️❤️

Spooky season is officially here! 🎃 But nothing is spookier than what Trump & his allies have done to the American people. -Cutting healthcare & food programs -Starting an illegal war -Increasing food & gas prices for families  -Attacking our communities & constitutional rights Now that’s scary! 👻

Over the last five years we have secured millions for affordable housing & food programs across New Mexico. Housing for seniors, families, kids, to ABQ’s Veterans Integration Center & transitional housing campus, youth housing campus, & millions to support families to get back on their feet.

Happy World Teachers Day! 🍎📕 From our classrooms in ABQ to our communities across New Mexico, we’re grateful everyday for the teachers & educators helping shape our future leaders. Thank you for showing up & inspiring our students! As an APS kid, it was teachers who helped make my path possible!❤️

Everyone’s a Lobo!! ❤️🖤🐺 Honored to join Prof Griego’s Public Policy class at @unm.edu yesterday to talk about how Congress and the public policy process works! Such awesome and insightful questions from our state’s future leaders — we can’t wait to see where they’ll end up next! ✨

Didn’t they learn the first time Elon Musk got involved in American politics? -Dismantled life saving agencies -Fired thousands of Americans -Stole our data -Gave himself millions in federal contracts They want him to advise the Pentagon on the future of war?!?!

So honored to serve our communities every day—today here in Placitas! Pueblo Cultural Center bill just passed the Senate, bringing us one step closer to restoring historic lands in downtown Albuquerque & support the IPCC’s work to lift up Pueblo culture, and economic development. ❤️

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.

New Mexico is leading the way in quantum science & tech! We joined the Roadrunner Venture Studios, NM Economic Development Department, the City of ABQ, Sandia National Labs, the University of New Mexico, & others to cut ribbon on a new state of the art quantum tech hub right in downtown ABQ. (1/2)

I am officially back in the Burque and the river is flowing again after months of being dry!! Grateful for this rain, even as it’s brought challenges across the state. Was so excited, I had to go check it out for myself. We even saw a porcupine as we were out and about! 🙏

Happy National Public Lands Day! 🌅 From the Rio Grande to the top of our mountains, our national parks, and the forest lands and acequias that have sustained our communities for generations, these lands are part of who we are. Public lands are our lands. And we will keep fighting to protect them!

This National Public Lands Day, we say: Hands Off Our Public Lands! At every turn, we are fighting back against this Administration’s efforts to sell our public lands and bulldoze, mine, and drill across sacred sites. We are fighting back in Congress, in the courts, and in our communities.

The White House is the people’s house, and the people deserve to know what’s happening inside. Especially, when POTUS invites a bunch of tech billionaires and the leader of our major global competitor inside. In spite of this court order—the press were once again blocked from reporting last night.

‼️🚨BREAKING! 🚨‼️ SCOTUS has failed the American people with a dangerous ruling which could be used to purge voter rolls and sew confusion. We’ve seen this move by this President and his allies over & over again: Create fear around our elections, & then use the federal government to try take control.
