Deb Haaland: “Thank you very much, Chairman, Ranking Member, and members of the committee.”

The decision to send a child across the border alone is unacceptable. My heart breaks every time a child is harmed because of poor policy.

On day one, I will overhaul CYFD. We will start from scratch with a secretary who has the right experience to serve our kids and move toward a system that provides consistent, high-quality care.

I am firmly in favor of making our utilities more accountable to ratepayers, more affordable for consumers, driven by more renewable energy for our environment and more beneficial for New Mexicans.

I can’t say why people are coming out to vote and why people want to build this momentum in New Mexico for Democrats, but it’s happening.
