The Udall Update returns for a look at the changes taking place in New Mexico, from Senator Bingaman's retirement to my appointment on the Senate Appropriations Committee. Featured in this episode are two "Sensible Solutions" I helped pass in Congress on behalf of New Mexicans, including the Katie Sepich Enhanced DNA Collection, which is now law thanks to the tireless efforts of Jayann Sepich from Carlsbad. I also sit down with Albuquerque residents MSgt Jessey Baca and his wife Maria for a special interview about our work to pass the Open Burn Pits Registry Act for military families in New Mexico and across the nation.
