H.R. 3628 does not address the fact that energy prices are rising. They are 13 percent higher since Trump took office. Trump has called the affordability crisis a Democratic hoax. He insults our intelligence once again every time we open a utility bill or open that notice about what healthcare premiums would be next year. When we go to the grocery store, we know the affordability crisis is not a hoax. It was created by Trump and his policies, his tariffs, and all of those cuts to our medical programs that Republicans jammed through this summer and their refusal to put before the floor the extension of those tax credits. In the area of renewable energy, Republicans also continue to close their eyes to how we make life more affordable for Americans.

He has not only physically harmed women and his own child, he has also insulted the American people and the institution he represents.
New Mexicans know the true cost of uranium mining. Across our state, abandoned uranium mines have poisoned our land, threatened our water, and harmed generations of families.
Trump does not understand New Mexico values, which center around land, water, air and strong communities. We are proud to be a multicultural, working class state. I think he’s making us poor, hungrier and less safe.
With over 4.2 million Latinos in the early voting states, Latinos will not (just) be talked about.
