Ben Ray Luján: “Thank you all for holding this hearing on the nomination of Roselyn Tso to be the Director of the Indian Health Service.”

Senator Ben Ray Luján helped shape the Fix Our Forests Act through the Senate Agriculture Committee, securing provisions reflecting New Mexico priorities.

On Indigenous Peoples’ Day, we recognize and honor the accomplishments, contributions, and strength of Tribal Nations across New Mexico and the country.

That’s why I’m reintroducing the CARE Act to raise the standard and bring our agricultural labor laws in line with other industries to better protect children and improve their working conditions.

I strongly oppose these efforts to weaken these vital standards and will continue working to protect New Mexicans’ health, our environment, and energy needs.
