I would argue there is every tool that is required right now to get this done, but what we need is rule promulgation so that way we can make sure we are helping these family farms.
Ben Ray Luján
The Public Record
Ben Ray Luján is an American politician serving as the junior United States senator from New Mexico since January 3, 2021. A member of the Democratic Party, he previously represented New Mexico's 3rd congressional district in the U.S. House of Representatives from 2009 to 2021. Luján has focused on various issues during his tenure, including economic development, healthcare, and tribal food security, advocating for policies that support New Mexico's diverse communities.
He has already worked to help some farmers in New Mexico, in Rio Rico County, a predominantly Hispanic community, that were really treated unfairly under the Trump administration.
I definitely look forward to working with you when you are confirmed, and learning how Congress and the USDA can provide additional support and resources to these communities.
I ask the Committee and other Members of Congress to support this bill to ensure current and future research includes increased numbers of Blacks, Hispanics, Asian and Native Americans in clinical trials.
Senators Ben Ray Lujan and Collins introduced the bipartisan Equity in Neuroscience and Alzheimer's Clinical Trials (ENACT) Act.
We need a national policy now not only to close the wage gap, but to boost our economy and recover from this pandemic.
I am a proud cosponsor of the Family Act and the Healthy Families Act, which together create a national paid leave program.
I am a proud son of a union ironworker. My late father, Ben Lujan. My mom's father was a union carpenter.
I am a strong supporter of Davis Bacon protections because they provide workers with fair, family sustaining wages.
Most the farm workers are some of our Nation's most vital but most overlooked workers.
I have concerns with so-called right to work laws, which I would describe as right to work for less.
