I am keeping the injured teacher and the entire Hobbs community in my prayers tonight after the shooting at Highland Middle School today. I have been in touch with local officials and law enforcement and will continue to work to get the facts as they develop. No educator should have to go through this.

This report confirms what I have been saying all along — unregulated and illegal prediction markets violate Tribal sovereignty and are a threat to economic development, education, and child services for our Pueblos, Tribes, and our state.

Enough with the chaotic trade and tariff policy — New Mexico ranchers need stability, and we should be putting American cattlegrowers first. Proud of this bipartisan bill I’ve introduced with Representative Nunn.

To the families who never got to welcome home a loved one who was taken as a Prisoner of War or was declared Missing in Action, I join you in grieving and honor the service of those who suffered this fate defending our nation. May we never forget those brave men and women. Thank you to the City of Albuquerque for hosting this special ceremony.

Keeping folklorico alive and thriving helps us pass on the traditions that make our culture so special — especially for our youth and their families.
As we celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, I was proud to join the maestros, parents and students for a practice session for Ballet Folklórico Fiesta Mexicana, and recognize them with a special proclamation for keeping this tradition going for generations right here in Albuquerque.

I'm tracking a second confirmed New World Screwworm case in New Mexico and am in close coordination with state officials, local ranchers, and other experts to ensure appropriate action is taken to contain this outbreak.

Right now, data centers are preying on our communities, trying to lock in sweetheart deals to drain our water, pollute our air, and use our electricity — using tax breaks that MAGA extremists cut your healthcare to pay for.
I'm leading a new bill to stop that.

I’m headed back home soon because House Speaker Mike Johnson just cancelled over two weeks of work.
Rising above the partisan gridlock, I’ve worked hard to deliver bipartisan solutions for New Mexico.

The cost of this war is much higher. And it must end.

Tipped workers shouldn't pay more in taxes than billionaires. I'm fighting to make no tax on tips permanent.

“Small metal enclosures?” They’re called cages. And putting humans in them using our taxpayer dollars is unAmerican and inhumane.
Under my Humane Accountability Act, we can put a stop to these cruel standards of detention, ensure transparency and accountability, and restore basic human principles — American principles.

It has been 25 years, but we will never forget.
Today in Albuquerque I joined firefighters, first responders, police officers, city leaders and community members to honor the lives lost, families impacted, and recommit to unity and peace.

The President's war in Iran continues to make life more expensive for New Mexicans. We need to stop spending on this reckless war and start putting America first — so I'll continue to call on my colleagues to pass my bipartisan Combatting Rural Inflation Act and to bring down prices in every community.

Today, we honor the lives tragically lost 25 years ago on September 11, 2001. We honor the resilience of survivors, the courage of first responders, and the countless Americans still living with the effects of the attacks today. We stand with the families forever changed and remember the heroes who rose in the face of tragedy. May we never forget.

This Administration has made costs surge and life miserable for blue collar workers. That's why I'm pushing for commonsense Representatives to work with me on my affordability agenda: vasquez.house.gov/lowercosts

Our water, clean air, and public lands are not for sale.
Data center developers and others who want to do business in New Mexico must respect the will of the people and be transparent and forthcoming about their proposals — we will accept nothing less. No more backroom deals.

Before coming to Congress, I worked directly with juveniles in the community correction program at FYI+ to help reshape their path in life. This week, I visited with youth and program leaders to see the impact of community diversion and putting our youth on successful life and career paths. Every kid in New Mexico deserves our support.
