New Mexico relies on the funding provided in the FAST Act in order to improve our transportation system.

It is an environmental injustice.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman.

So, in hindsight, would we have allowed the largest uranium mine to open on Laguna? I think that people would think twice about that.

In New Mexico, the minority population is the majority. So, our New Mexico reality really resonates.

He has been so oppressive about this that the Interior Department carried on with the permitting process for oil and gas drilling even while the Federal Government was shut down.

Good-faith consultation with tribal governments is a really important aspect of our work...

Thank you, Chairman. And thank you all for coming here. We are so grateful.

I encourage everyone to do that.

I would love for us to explore other ways for folks to make a living.

But I also feel that the health effects that this industry is having on people's health, you can't get that back many times either.
