The VA is forcing veterans in Otero and Eddy Counties to drive hours to Albuquerque for care, even though a VA medical center in El Paso is much closer. It makes no sense.

It is imperative that Congress and the American people understand how DOI’s actions have crippled the development of wind energy in the country.

Unfortunately, this is yet another markup in this Committee where we are not conserving a single additional acre of public land for the American people.

When you came before this Committee almost a year ago, I asked you if it was the case that political appointees were on review boards for the cancellation of $3.7 billion in awards. You responded, ‘Well, it's absolutely the case.’ Those…

On top of that, his office has slow-walked New Mexico’s own investigation into Epstein’s crimes at Zorro Ranch, refusing to hand our Attorney General the unredacted evidence he needs.

We need to find a way to build more high voltage transmission lines in the next decade—our ability to grow our economy depends on it.

The American people deserve to have a government that works for them—not one that is willing to push energy prices even higher and put the country’s energy security at grave risk.

New Mexicans should have access to timely, high-quality mental healthcare whenever and wherever they need it.

Sometimes national park boundaries need to change, and it is this Committee’s job to decide when that is a good idea. But that work cannot be one-sided—only advancing bills that remove protections, and not those that add them.

I just want to make it clear that in the Chaco [Canyon] case, there was no land transfer. All of that land remained in public hands. There was a mineral withdrawal that was designed to protect thousands of individual archeological and…

Once an administration begins punishing Americans for how they vote, the threat extends far beyond these projects: no state, community, business, or worker can trust that the federal government will apply the law fairly.

It is an attack on the rule of law and the basic democratic principle that the federal government serves the entire country—not merely those who support the President.

I know the Senator from Alaska knows about balance. She has passed a lot of legislation out of this Committee. And I think today, unfortunately, we are not finding that balance.

Survivors and witnesses in my home state and across the country deserve better.

I voted against Mr. Clayton's nomination to serve as Director of National Intelligence because he hasn’t shown the independence or care this job demands.

That’s the kind of unforced, unnecessary harm that should disqualify someone from a job built on discretion and judgement.

As U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, Mr. Clayton failed to protect Epstein survivors’ personal contact information and, in some cases, nude photographs from public disclosure.

The Director of National Intelligence has one job above all others: to tell the American people, the president, and Congress the truth, even when it’s inconvenient.

Proposing to fully revoke protections for Chaco Canyon and only allowing 14 days to comment on this development is wrong, shameful, and a slap in the face to Tribes.

Mr. Clayton couldn’t bring himself to do that in his own confirmation hearing, when he wouldn’t give a straight answer about who won the 2020 election.

New Mexicans deserve to know when a medication is not FDA-approved and may carry serious risks. Our SAFE Drug Act helps protect patients by requiring compounders to clearly label medications that are not FDA-approved and report when things…

With only six months left in this Congress, it is my hope that we will see conservation bills considered in future business meetings so that we can get them marked up, passed, and signed into law.

The Trump administration has repeatedly refused to reverse its cuts to VA homecare reimbursement rates in New Mexico — denying veterans the care they have earned.

President Trump promised to lower costs for working families. Instead of working to find solutions to lower costs for Americans, his attacks on American-made energy and his war with Iran have skyrocketed energy bills and gas prices.

I think that Congress really intended those funds to go to American ranchers. So, I want to ask you, what are you going to do this time around to ensure that the proposed relief dollars that we're talking about today, that those funds go…
