Our Planet

Our land, our waters, and our people are intertwined. I represent a beautiful and beautifully diverse district where so much of our culture is tied to the land. When you begin to lose your land, you begin to lose a piece of yourself.

That is why I continue to advocate for historic investments in renewable energy and new technologies to reduce emissions, create good-paying jobs and make our country an energy industry leader. I have voted for and introduced legislation to protect our natural resources, to fund clean water, drought mitigation, and clean up orphaned wells.

On September 30th, 2022 I helped secure $2.5 billion in Aid for New Mexicans impacted by Hermit’s Peak/Calf Canyon Fires. My Hermit’s Peak/Calf Canyon Fire Assistance Act includes $2.5 billion for our ranchers, acequia members, students, and families. For our forests, lands, precious waters, and all we lost in this fire. $2.5 billion begins the long, slow road to healing and recovery.
