Ben Ray Luján: “Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman, Vice Chair Murkowski as well, for holding this important legislative hearing today.”

New Mexico small businesses, like New Mexico Piñon Coffee, are the backbone of our communities and help drive our local economies.

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

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

Children have their whole futures ahead of them, and our country must do more to protect those working in the agriculture industry.
