U.S. Senator for NM. Husband, dad, hunter. Former Engineer/Current energy nerd. Respects hard work, NM values, & anyone w/a freezer full of wild game.

Six years ago, our Great American Outdoors Act became law — marking one of the largest investments in America’s public lands in history. I was proud to help get that bill passed. And I look forward to following on that success when we pass our America the Beautiful Act.

Know of BLM-managed lands with limited or no public access? I passed the HUNT Act to give you a voice in improving access to public lands for hunting, fishing, and other recreation. Thanks to that law, you can nominate a parcel of land for their priority list here.

Chaco Canyon has immense cultural, spiritual, and historical significance, and the Trump administration wants to fully revoke its 10-mile cultural protection zone. Tomorrow is the last day to submit your comments. Go tell the Trump administration NO.

I had a great time meeting with New Mexican students involved in advocacy, service, and justice. Their passion and commitment shows us the impact young people can have when they're supported. I look forward to continuing to speak up for our students, scholars, and young leaders.

I met with representatives from the All Pueblo Council of Governors to discuss issues affecting Tribal Nations — from protecting our historic Chaco Canyon to advancing support for the Native Seeds Act. We still have a long way to go, but we will keep at it.

US Forest Service staff are the backbone of our National Forests. Violence and threats against our federal employees are never appropriate in any form. I’m glad that these US Forest Service employees are safe.

Homecare services aren't luxuries. They're earned benefits that allow disabled and elderly veterans to remain in their homes and live with dignity. My Protecting Home-Based Care for Rural Veterans Act would reverse Trump’s harmful cuts and ensure veterans get the care they need.

Congratulations to hometown hero Police Chief Jeremy Story for being honored on his outstanding work strengthening public safety and trust with residents. It’s encouraging to see this kind of driven leadership making a positive impact in Las Cruces.

Chaco Canyon is a living, cultural landscape and the Trump administration's proposal to fully revoke the 10-mile mineral withdrawal is out of touch and immoral. They've opened a 14-day comment period. Please leave a comment to protect Chaco.

Today’s executive action is another chapter in Trump’s War on the West. Bears Ears and Grand Staircase belong to the American people, not billionaires looking to profit off public lands. It's a slap in the face to Tribes, local communities, & future generations. Now is the time to raise your voice.

Lindsey Graham fought hard for the things he believed in. And while we disagreed on a lot, he was always willing to sit down, hear me out, and work across the aisle when we could, getting things done that mattered. My full statement below.

“Lindsey Graham fought hard for the things he believed in. And while we disagreed on a lot, he was always willing to sit down, hear me out, and work across the aisle when we could, getting things done that mattered — from visiting international health care clinics together to negotiating our Bipartisan Safer Communities Act to standing up the U.S. Foundation for International Conservation. Lindsey understood that working to prevent and treat HIV/AIDS, making our communities safer, and protecting the natural world shouldn’t be partisan causes. That kind of relationship-building is rarer in the Senate than it should be, and it’s part of what made him effective.

You can't protect endangered species while destroying the habitats they depend on to survive. By narrowing the definition of "harm" under the Endangered Species Act, this administration is making it harder to protect vulnerable wildlife and putting more species at risk of extinction.
