Ben Ray Luján: “Arts education gives students the opportunity to learn, express themselves, and discover new talents, but too many young…”

I’ve long fought for Indigenous Peoples’ Day to be recognized as a federal holiday and will continue pushing to honor the Native people who have played a vital role in our communities and in shaping our nation’s history.

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.
