Heather on the Issues

My priority as your advocate in Washington is to work for legislation which will benefit you and your family and the people of New Mexico.  Sometimes that means I write and introduce bills myself, and sometimes I work with other members of Congress who share my goals by co- sponsoring bills they have written. Writing amendments to bills and winning support for them is another way I work on solving problems for New Mexico.  My best sources of information about what needs to be done are the thousands of people who have taken time to write to me or call the office or visit with me personally when I'm in the Albuquerque area.


 Legislation Sponsored
 Legislation I have sponsored in the 109th Congress.


 Legislation Co-Sponsored
 Legislation I have co-sponsored in the 109th Congress.


 The Library of Congress
 The Library of Congress provides searchable information about the U.S. Congress and the legislative process. You can browse the Congressional Record, find bills, or look at committee reports.


 Ask Heather your questions on current legislation.
 Copies of current legislation and public laws are available from my office if you cannot find them on the Web.  To request legislation, please have the bill number and title. Legislation starts with either "H.R." for bills originating in the House of Representatives or "S" for bills originating in the Senate. To request public laws, please have the public law number.  The number will have either 5 or 6 digits, depending upon the year of proposal and will have a hyphen before the final 3 digits.

You can e-mail your request to ask.heather@mail.house.gov. Include the words "Copy of a Law" in the comments box.
