Ben Ray Luján: “Social Security keeps 22 million Americans out of poverty.”

The innovation and creativity that IAIA inspires to solve some of our greatest challenges – both here at home and around the world – is why I’m so proud to support this institution.

After fighting alongside survivors, uranium workers, and their families, we secured a historic expansion of RECA to finally deliver justice to more New Mexicans.

During the discussion, Senator Luján heard directly from health care leaders about the impacts of these cuts and outlined his efforts to fight back and protect access to quality, affordable health care across the state.

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.
