Ben Ray Luján: “I'm one of, I think, two senators right now that went to pre-K. I thought everyone went to Head Start.”

As the Senator for New Mexico, and as the longtime U.S. Representative for IAIA’s home in Santa Fe, I’m honored to be appointed to this important leadership position.

People across New Mexico and across so many parts of the country don't want to be changing those clocks day after day.

I will continue working to ensure no New Mexican who sacrificed for our national security is left behind.

I’ve secured funding for IAIA’s academic programs, fought back against dangerous budget cuts from the Trump administration, and I’ll continue to be a strong advocate for this institution.
