Ben Ray Luján: “Extending the Child Tax Credit would indeed have a significant impact on children in poverty.”

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

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.

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