I urge the Committee members to push back against the Administration's mistaken legal and scientific rationale for undoing these common-sense regulations.

In New Mexico, the minority population is the majority. So, our New Mexico reality really resonates.

Good-faith consultation with tribal governments is a really important aspect of our work...

Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Chairman. And thank you all for coming here. We are so grateful.

The regulations needed to protect me and my family go beyond fines and violations, they must ensure that all generations now and in the future are considered and treated with respect in their right to clean air and clean water.

We are working hard to make sure that that happens.

Unfortunately, the Trump administration has decided to ignore the science and is working to weaken and repeal these rules.

But I also feel that the health effects that this industry is having on people's health, you can't get that back many times either.

I highly urge this Committee to consider the extent of your responsibility to me and to every single living person affected by oil and gas extraction development on the Navajo Nation and in New Mexico.

I would love for us to explore other ways for folks to make a living.

I know what it is like to be poor.

So, in hindsight, would we have allowed the largest uranium mine to open on Laguna? I think that people would think twice about that.

Thank you very much for speaking your truth.

I encourage everyone to do that.

Our delegation encouraged us to continue to hold Hilcorp and both Federal and state agencies accountable for methane emissions in the San Juan Basin.

He has been so oppressive about this that the Interior Department carried on with the permitting process for oil and gas drilling even while the Federal Government was shut down.

Instead, President Trump wants to expand drilling and logging across precious and fragile landscapes.
