I am committed to delivering policies that bring costs down and support the folks working hard for our communities. And I will continue holding President Trump accountable for the rising prices caused by his tariffs, war with Iran, and…

Today we honor the skilled workers who built our country and keep it running. We recognize all those, past and present, who have fought for labor protections and the right to organize. And we commit to creating an economy where hard work…
The Native Language Educators in Classrooms Act provides a commonsense, bipartisan solution, without compromising quality.
Every summer, our grid faces an increase in demand, leaving communities across the country at risk of power outages that can be life-threatening.
This is about making sure Tribal communities have the authority and resources they need to keep their languages and cultures strong for generations to come.
We should be building more reliable, affordable energy – not putting up more roadblocks.
That is why it makes no sense that President Trump continues to block and stall new clean energy projects from connecting to the grid.
Extreme heat is putting more pressure on our electric grid, and Americans need to know that when they flip the switch, the power will be there. Clean, American-made energy can help us meet growing demand, lower energy costs, strengthen the…
A comment period is not consultation. Full stop. These proposals are a way of cutting Tribes out of the conversation. And the irony is, that's not going to get projects built.
I don't know how to characterize the draft that we've seen as anything other than complete hostility to the government-to-government relationship and to meaningful consultation.
We need to make the Historic Preservation Fund permanent. We need to adequately resource the fund as a whole. And we especially need to make sure that we're dedicating more of those funds to Tribal Historic Preservation Officers, so that…
When a President uses the power of his office to benefit himself and his wealthy friends while working families are left to foot the bill, that’s corruption — plain and simple.
Throughout my career, I've always advocated for funding to address housing and homelessness. It's because I truly believe that as a society, that we should be judged by how we treat those who are most in need, and I believe that every…
This economy has been pretty tough. A lot of folks are having a hard time, and they're having to make some really difficult decisions here in Taos and around the country.
Reversing these common-sense standards will waste publicly owned natural gas, cost the American people tens of millions in foregone revenue, and increase pollution on our public lands.
I want to say, from the bottom of my heart, as somebody who truly believes in the value and the importance of public lands and wilderness: thank you all for protecting this very special place.
To put a mine where we went this week just seems insane to me. It would put at risk one of the last great wilderness areas in North America — not just the Boundary Waters, but the Boundary Waters, Quetico and Voyageurs.
I come from a mining family. I'm not against every mine everywhere. My dad worked for Anaconda Copper, and my grandfather was a gold miner. But I learned, negotiating with big companies over natural resource damages, that there are smart…
Everyone who responds to wildfires puts themselves in harm’s way to keep our communities safe, and we have a responsibility to make sure they have the resources, equipment, and support they need to do their jobs safely and effectively.
I’m grateful to the firefighters, Incident Commanders, and support and medical crews who are working around the clock to protect New Mexico communities from the Frijoles Fire.
BLM’s newly proposed rule threatens to dismantle this common-sense progress.
But as the National Park Service celebrates 110 years, our parks face a $24 billion maintenance backlog and severe staffing shortages.
I’ll keep fighting to ensure taxpayers aren’t footing the bill for Trump’s vanity projects while the cost of everyday expenses continues to soar.
This doesn’t change the fact that Congress never authorized spending YOUR hard-earned taxpayer dollars on Trump’s golden ballroom.
