erasing this rule would result in the waste of taxpayer resources and dollars, hinder job growth in a new and growing sector, and pose a public health hazard.

Now I believe that access to affordable and quality health care is a right for all, not a privilege for some.

Gutting Medicaid would be a disaster for 74 million Americans including nearly a million New Mexicans.

I have to believe this comes down to the fact that the leaders of the Grand Old Party don't think that some people are grand enough to deserve health care.

Hypocrisy isn't a term that I use lightly. Unfortunately today hypocrisy is the word that readily comes to mind.

During my time in Congress, I've supported some trade agreements and opposed others that I believed hurt American workers and chipped away at environmental protections.

Will the Trump administration use TPA to pass trade deals without amendment from Congress, which really cuts our constituents out of this and cuts Congress out?

I have been extremely alarmed by some of the President-elect Trump's derisive comments about the U.N., and I am very concerned that his statements have harmed our efforts in that body.

I certainly want to work with you to ensure that the Commerce Department meets those goals in my home state of New Mexico.

this could raise some real conflicts for you in terms of doing your job.

I am a very strong supporter of the United Nations, and I believe that strong U.S. leadership is needed to ensure that the United Nations remains a viable institution in the future.

I think it's for him to judge what is the appropriate disposition or non-disposition of his assets.

U.S. leadership is paramount. If we left a political vacuum, it would likely be filled by countries that might not necessarily share our interests, such as Russia and try and China.

I am a strong supporter of the policy of reengagement, which has already produced results.

I hope that you will work with me in the rural areas and in Native American communities to make sure that we get the infrastructure that they deserve and that they can grow their communities.

I hope we will not be letting those Americans down by returning to a period where such efforts are made impossible by a failed policy that showed no results.

I hope that you will work with me to see that we improve the vehicle fleet fuel economy rather than rolling back those standards.

We know from efforts in my home state of New Mexico that we can reduce the tragic toll from drunk driving.
