Growing up on my family’s small farm in Nambé, I saw firsthand the hard work it takes to keep a farm running. Farmers and ranchers deserve access to federal conservation programs that work for them, especially as the climate crisis worsens. This legislation will help ensure that small farms have the support they need to strengthen their operations and protect New Mexico’s land and water.
Reflecting on personal experience and the need for federal support.

I was proud to speak with local leaders who are committed to improving the lives of those in their communities.
I’ll continue fighting to strengthen home-based care, support caregivers, and protect SNAP from attacks that would make it harder for families to get the food they need.
The communities of the Chama Valley – acequia farmers, Land Grant communities, Tribal members, ranchers, and rural families – have cared for their land and water for generations.
From putting food on the table to finding an affordable place to call home and accessing quality health care, New Mexicans deserve the support and resources they need to thrive.
