Ben Ray Luján: “Co-ops are struggling to obtain wildfire insurance because of the chance their equipment is faulted for a major fire.”

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.

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

Let this day serve as a celebration of Tribal Nations and a reminder of the work ahead to fulfill the federal government’s responsibilities to Tribes and Pueblos across the United States.
