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.

Trump said he'd lower costs. New Mexico families have spent an extra $2,800 since he took office.
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.

Sen. Heinrich: This administration is stripping Chaco protections away in an effort to facilitate oil and gas drilling.

We’ve known it all along: the Trump administration canceled energy project grants in states where Donald Trump lost in 2024. Americans deserve a government that works for them, not one that plays politics with their lives and jobs.

Today is the LAST DAY to speak up for Chaco Canyon.
I voted against Mr. Clayton's nomination to serve as Director of National Intelligence because he hasn’t shown the independence or care this job demands.
Just got out of a meeting with President Zelensky. I stand with Ukraine and will be voting to sanction Russia.
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.
The biggest housing bill in decades is now law. I'm proud that our bill will help make housing available and affordable to give New Mexicans the ability to buy a home that fits for them.
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.
As if the cost of prescription drugs wasn’t already too high...
Horrible news. My thoughts are with the families of the two service members killed in this attack, the service member who remains missing, and all those who were injured.
BREAKING: Two U.S. service members were killed while defending against an Iranian ballistic missile and drone attack in Jordan, and another service member is missing, U.S. Central Command said.
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.
Enough with the manufactured distractions, made up lies, and rewritten history. Lower costs.
We have an Attorney General in New Mexico who's serious about actually having an investigation and seeking justice for Epstein's survivors. This is a path to actually being able to hold people accountable.

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.

Harry Truman had a sign on his desk that said, "The buck stops here." Who has that sign on their desk in this case?

Trump defunded our public lands and now he’s using his reckless defunding to justify stripping protections from our National Monuments. Next stop…public lands selloff? Time to make some noise, people!
Now is not the time to hand the president a blank check while he is waging a reckless and illegal war with Iran. I voted no.
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.
Hundreds of thousands of people are dead, with millions more threatened by 2030. That's Elon Musk's legacy.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it looks like we're in for another round of public land attacks from President Trump this week.
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.
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.
