Chaco is central to New Mexico’s identity — a living cultural landscape, a sacred place and an irreplaceable unit of our national public lands. The Administration’s attempt to revoke the protections of this landscape, built through years…

The sense of urgency around filing has opened the door to rampant fraud in communities across New Mexico.

When New Mexicans pay their taxes, they deserve to know that their hard-earned dollars are being spent responsibly, lawfully, and for the good of the public. We must do better to maintain the public’s trust in government.

on behalf New Mexico's Second District, I rise to highlight the dire financial situation many rural communities face because of the lapse in Secure Rural Schools funding. For over 20 years, Congress has used SRS to support rural areas…
