UNM Hospital’s $842M critical care tower opens Oct. 5—adding 24 ICU beds, an expanded ER, new ORs, and more imaging. As NM’s only Level 1 trauma center, this nine-story expansion will ease capacity strains and boost inpatient care by 70% over the next decade. #NewMexico #Healthcare #UNMH

Proud to stand with leaders across city, county, and state as we announced $80M for housing and homelessness projects in Albuquerque and Bernalillo County—part of the legislature’s historic $120M investment. Taking action on one of New Mexico’s biggest challenges. 🏡✨ #nmpol #nmleg #anewday4NM

Today was one of the best days—sharing space with powerhouse women at NM Women Lead, hosted by @Rep_Stansbury & my brilliant policy director Veronica Krupnick. We talked leadership, resilience & why community is everything. Grateful for the Congresswoman’s team & my awesome DLA, Mike Plantenberg.

🚀 Blast off into fun! Intern Day 2025 at NEW SPACE | NEX US was a wild ride.

From building crash-proof egg landers to navigating a Venus mission gone wrong, we laughed, engineered, and maybe got a little competitive. It was a blast!

Zoran Mamdami gives Democrats the blueprint for the future. Affordability is the number one issue for every working American in 2025-particularly affordable housing, education and cost of living. It affects 99% of the population and transcends identity politics. #2026election #AffordabilityCrisis

The final beam is going up at the new CNM Film & Digital Media + New Mexico Media Arts Collective facility at the Rail Yards 🎬✨ This milestone marks a major step forward for New Mexico’s growing media arts industry and the future of film education in our state. #nmpol #nmleg #anewday4NM

The targeted shootings of Sen. Hoffman and Rep. Hortman were a tragic attack on democracy. Rep. Hortman and her husband were killed; Sen. Hoffman and his wife remain in critical condition.

We must reject political violence. Public service deserves respect—not fear.
