Farmworkers are the engine of New Mexico’s agricultural economy. That’s why I hosted a roundtable in the Hatch Valley to listen directly to field workers about their challenges and find solutions that benefit the region. When we support rural workers, we build community and keep traditions alive.

🚨 Over the last week, over 500 worried constituents contacted me to share their stories and pain due to federal firings. Communities like Carlsbad, Grants, Socorro, and others are losing hundreds of jobs. DOGE’s unchecked power is hurting New Mexico and our nation.

Great news! My Social Security Fairness Act is now law, ensuring that public servants such as teachers and firefighters receive the full benefits they’ve earned. This means that tens of thousands of hardworking New Mexicans will see an average increase of $4,320 in their wallets.
