I would like to thank you for holding the hearing, 'Opioids in Indian Country: Beyond the Crisis to Healing the Community.'

We really look forward to digesting all of this and trying to work on getting the legislation just right so we can get resources into Indian Country.

Will you also commit to reviewing your office's Indian Country declination rates and working with tribal leaders to identify and resolve any barriers to prosecution?

The Democratic Congressional campaign committee Ben Ray Lujan as a chair has recruited candidates across the country, more candidates than Democrats have ever had, and they fit the districts.

Should DOJ law enforcement and the U.S. Attorney's Office be doing more to investigate and prosecute drug crimes in Indian Country?

One issue I have focused on throughout my entire time in Congress is Federal information technology reform.

too many people in New Mexico and those living on tribal lands are stuck without 1G.

everyone on this Committee must push them hard to expand to rural areas where so many communities still do not have adequate internet.

basic economics tells us they need more support from Federal programs. And by support we mean dollars, not simply press releases and rhetoric.

we thank you for your extraordinary efforts in developing a deal to eliminate the budget caps

We strongly support the funding levels that Congress has appropriated each year since fiscal year 2015.

In these tight budgetary conditions, maximizing the effectiveness of Federal dollars through partnerships with State and local actors can play a large role in addressing our national forest challenges.

Meanwhile, the wealthiest 5 percent walk away with an astonishing 99 percent of the tax benefits.

Rushed through with no bipartisan input, the GOP tax law jeopardizes our fiscal position and further tilts the scales in favor of large corporations and wealthy individuals.

Instead, Republicans chose to cut taxes for large corporations and the super wealthy, and left Americans hoping that those cuts would somehow trickle down to workers.

Independent analysis shows that within 10 years, more than half of working families will pay higher taxes than they would have before the new GOP tax law.

the Republican tax bill serves special interests and will cost our children dearly for generations to come.

Why is now the right time to expose consumers again to the kinds of systemic risk that got us into this financial crisis in the first place?
