We have every opportunity now to protect our people, our land, our water, and all our resources.

I want you to refer to us not as the great state of New Mexico but as the Clean Energy State the next time you come to Santa Fe.

What could you do with $47 million in New Mexico?

We must protect this region, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with the same vigor as we protect the air we breathe.

We need many more than two--a district, a territory, and three states to be leading on renewable energy.

I think in the Beltway and in Congress, all too often, particularly when I was there in the Minority, if you have people suffering, it becomes a way to produce more partisan efforts.

The argument that capturing methane kills jobs just doesn't add up to me.

New Mexico, meanwhile, has seized and will continue to seize the opportunity to reduce pollution that threatens human health.

New Mexico became the 18th state to join the U.S. Climate Alliance.

We need a robust partnership. And the idea that they are repealing and removing and pushing forward without state involvement or input is quite troubling.

A place where ancestors have been laid to rest should not be desecrated, but one that is also being negatively impacted with environmental justice concerns.

And with one of the concerns that we have with meaningful consultation, do you feel, yes or no--and I will ask each of the panelists--that meaningful consultation is currently taking place around Chaco from the Trump administration?

How can Congress specifically support your efforts to stop methane emissions here in New Mexico and across the country?

All that we are saying is that we want to codify the long-standing BLM practice to not lease within 10 miles and to protect the remaining Chaco ruins and landscape nearest the existing park.

I think both the extension and adding New Mexico as an amended state to include it would make a tremendous difference in our state.

You have the tools in your hand. How you fight back against this current administration...

I cannot say how grateful I am, Chairman Lowenthal, for you and Chairman Grijalva and our Chairwoman, Debra Haaland, for coming to New Mexico.

I appreciate that.
