Trump betrayed rural America.

For the last four years, we invested over $134.4 million in New Mexico’s farmers, ranchers, and acequias. In just one month, Trump cut off millions EQIP IRA funds—hurting the hardworking families who feed our communities.

We're fighting back.

It feels like no one should have to say this, and yet we are in a situation where it needs to be said, very loudly and clearly, before it’s too late to do anything about it: The United States is not a startup. If you run it like one, it will break.

#NMLeg Some of the opposition to SB4 states that the timelines are to aggressive. We have been working on this for a decade. If they had started 10 years ago, the targets would not be so difficult to achieve.

Donald Trump has not yet taken office. It is going to get worse, much worse. We need to stand up an opposition not for a month or two but for four years or more. To do that, we cannot allow ourselves or our leaders to be too tired. We must insist they have courage or get out of the way.

Two years ago today we were awarded the Congressional Gold Medal for protecting The US Capitol on January 6th 2021. Almost 4 years later the efforts to downplay, whitewash and minimize what happened appear to be succeeding. I won't ever stop standing up to them.
