this bill is about bringing out those stories, finding the information, getting the information you need

Our own country allowed children to die in federally funded schools as we have heard today.

How should we get churches to acknowledge their role in forming and implementing boarding schools for American Indian and Alaska Native children?

I am certain there will be other organizations, perhaps some that are culpable for terrible things against other tribal nations, and it will require a mechanism to ensure that a complete sharing of information occurs.

Congress can help to address the trauma that boarding schools inflicted on individuals by providing families and researchers access to records of the children who attended boarding schools.

Today, we have listened with tears in our eyes and purpose in our heart to the tragic stories of the treatment of young Native American children who were torn from their parents, torn from their families, torn from their culture, torn from…

I am very appreciative of your mega construction project program that will have contractors and subcontractors make sure they create those jobs and invite our underrepresented workers, and that we also protect those civil rights.

We saw voter intimidation and harassment tactics happening down in Las Cruces in Dona Ana County.

We must keep working to protect and expand voting rights, because our democracy...depends on it.

One of the things I love in those Federalist Papers is that they say that Congress should be a perfect mirror portrait of what America is.

We must work on that.

when you start to target people and it is this, you know, official target from the State or from the government, then it pushes people into the margins and it prevents people from participating in democracy, and that is why that protection…

Those range from closing polling places in Black and Latino communities, which would make those lines longer and much longer than the 30 minutes that we have proscribed in our act.

We need to make sure that we get those fifty Republicans or at least get--do away with the filibuster.

we had a hearing in Florida about the disinformation specifically targeted to Spanish speakers and how that disinformation in Florida is then exported, sort of cleaned up like there is a laundering effect on disinformation, then imported…

We know that is not how we do stuff here. So instead of litigation, we had legislation.

We do have Federal legislation to address that, and we will continue to work on it.

I too support and believe that we must abolish the filibuster.

We know that the last election was the most secure, had almost nil election fraud.

We also know that we still have problems in New Mexico. It is not that we are perfect, but it is that we are going to address those issues.

I think what you have just pointed out is that our job is to make it easier for voters to vote, whether it is in a Tribal election or a Federal election.

One of the top reasons why my constituents have been reaching out to me is that they want to urge a ban on individual stock ownership for Members.

Waiting until reelection allows that Member to make the choice as to whether they will continue to ask for that.

I don't think Members should be in the business of owning or trading individual stocks.

This is what healthcare looks like in rural America. This is what healthcare looks like in rural New Mexico.
