I trust women to make decisions about their bodies. The Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade not only stripped away a woman's right to choose but ripped away our right to privacy in our bedrooms, marriages, and doctor’s offices. That’s why I cosponsored the Women’s Health Protection Act (WHPA) so all women, regardless of zip code, have the freedom to make their own health care decisions. In addition, I cosponsored the Right to Contraception Act and Access to Family Building Act so women can access birth control options and IVF.

During my first term in Congress, I served as the Chair of the Subcommittee for Indigenous Peoples. With my support, Congress passed the largest investment in tribal communities in history. Nearly $46 billion in investments are helping to build out roads, broadband, clean energy, water, and other infrastructure across tribal lands. Congress also passed my bipartisan STOP Act to crack down on the trafficking of tribal cultural items and my Tribal Energy Investment Act to support energy development.

As a co-chair of the Rural Broadband Caucus, I’ll continue to advocate for policies that connect New Mexicans to the internet and each other. Broadband is basic infrastructure. It’s as necessary now as electricity once was. Internet connections can help doctors consult on patient care, expand education, and open job opportunities.

Growing up, democracy was a deeply held value in my home. I often tell the story of my grandmother, who when she was literally in hospice, she’d call up people in Spanish and say, "you need to make sure you get to vote." Voting has always been what defines us as a democracy. Voting should be a celebration. It’s an opportunity to use your voice. That’s why I am committed to protecting this right for every American.

During my time in Congress, I have fought for laws that safeguard this simple—yet sacred– pillar of our democracy. That’s why I voted for the Freedom to Vote: John R. Lewis Act to make sure that Native Americans, Latinos, African Americans, and every other American has access to the ballot. This bill would protect poll workers, reinstate preclearance, and remove barriers to voting for those living on tribal lands. Finally, this bill would reform our campaign finance system to make sure that our democracy works for the people and not special interests.

To protect our democracy I also voted for the Presidential Election Reform Act to make sure that the candidate who wins the election takes office. I cosponsored the Protecting Our Democracy Act to prevent foreign influence in our elections. I will always fight to make sure political violence, threats, intimidation, and lies don’t undermine over two hundred years of democratic tradition in this country.

Our democracy requires justice for all including equal treatment under the law. As an attorney, I witnessed the judicial system's impact on our country and communities firsthand. Some of the common sense reforms that I cosponsored include the Supreme Court Ethics, Recusal, And Transparency Act and the Supreme Court Tenure Establishment and Retirement Modernization Act. I will continue to push for this kind of legislation to make sure that our justice system is beyond the influence of politics and that we restore faith in our Supreme Court.

With nearly 1 in 4 of New Mexico’s children living in poverty, our state has one of the highest child poverty rates in the nation. We must fix that. I voted for the American Rescue Plan Act, which expanded the Child Tax Credit to create economic opportunities for families. In my district alone, this life-saving investment delivered $207.9 million to more than 78,000 families. I am disappointed that the expanded CTC expired at the end of 2021. I will always stand for the children of New Mexico and do anything in my power to help them. Please be assured that I will not give up on the expanded CTC.

Workers are the backbone of our economy. They deserve fair treatment and a voice in the workplace. I cosponsored the PRO Act to protect workers from anti-union intimidation and make sure they can hold free and fair union elections. I also support the Raise the Wage Act to make sure wages keep up with rising costs of living.

As housing costs soar, too many New Mexicans struggle to pay rent or achieve their dreams of homeownership. I believe all of our neighbors deserve to afford to live in the communities they grew up in. That’s why I introduced my Home of Your Own Act, which would create a new homeownership assistance program that would provide one-time, $30,000 grants to eligible first-time homebuyers nationwide. I also cosponsored the Neighborhood Homes Investment Act and the Affordable Housing Credit Improvement Act to increase the supply of housing and bring down costs.

I am committed to spurring new economic development across New Mexico. I cosponsored and helped pass the Expanding Access to Capital for Rural Job Creators Act. I also convened a roundtable with small business owners and Los Alamos National Lab officials to discuss how to create new businesses. This builds on the fiscal year 2024 funding bill that includes my initiative to support the commercialization of technologies from the national labs.

In New Mexico, one in ten paychecks are tied to the creative economy. We know how the arts can spur economic growth and enhance our culture. That’s why I introduced the Creative Workforce Investment Act to support arts and creative workforce initiatives that create publicly accessible art while employing individuals in the local community.

As a Member of the Education and Workforce Committee, I am working hard to support students at every age. I began my lifelong love of learning as a Head Start baby and launched the bipartisan Head Start to Congress Caucus because I know the opportunities that early childhood education creates. To improve elementary and secondary schools, we need to invest in teachers and make sure schools have adequate resources. My Loan Forgiveness for Educators Act would help teachers pay back student loans. I also cosponsored the Advancing Toward Impact Aid Full Funding Act to increase funding for many public schools in New Mexico.

I also want to make sure higher education is available to all students. My America’s College Promise Act would support tuition-free community college and invest in Hispanic Serving Institutions and Tribal Colleges and Universities. I also introduced the Campus Prevention and Recovery Services for Students Act to help colleges implement programs to help students who are struggling with addiction.

Congress must also support young people who want to pursue trades or attend vocational school. That’s why I voted to pass the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA), which would invest in workforce development programs. WIOA will provide apprenticeships for good high paying jobs in renewable energy, health care, the film and arts sector. I worked with my colleagues so these programs reach rural communities and bolster the creative economy.

Every five years, Congress must pass a new Farm Bill to make improvements and changes to federal agriculture, nutrition, conservation, and forestry programs. The Farm Bill is one of our best opportunities to make sure that our local communities receive the support they deserve. Below are some of my priorities for the Farm Bill that I crafted after conversations with New Mexicans.

From appropriately-designed machinery to child care development in rural areas, I want to address the consistent and unique concerns that I heard from women farmers and ranchers.

From Aztec to Roswell, farmers and ranchers across New Mexico know that agua es vida. Yet, they sometimes lack the proper resources for water conservation. That’s why I introduced the Support the WEST Act. This bill would enhance programs that support drought-resilient agriculture and water-conserving practices. Meanwhile, my bill, the Acequia Communities Empowered by Qualifying Upgrades for Infrastructure Act would make sure that acequia parciantes qualify for disaster assistance programs because it’s vital that we support the lifeline of so many of our rural communities.

Finally, the Farm Bill is one of our best tools to combat hunger. For example, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) helps nearly 500,000 New Mexicans every month. In fact, New Mexico has the highest SNAP participation rate in the country. I firmly oppose cuts to SNAP benefits. Families and kids should never worry about where they will get their next meal.

As Vice Chair of the Democratic Women’s Caucus, I am also working to make sure that we provide economic security for women. I cosponsored the Child Care Stabilization Act to make sure child care providers continue to receive a reliable source of funding to help them deliver high-quality child care for working families. I introduced the Latina Equal Pay Day Resolution to call for equal pay for Latinas who currently only earn 51 cents for every dollar a white, non-Hispanic man makes.

Our work to support women is far-reaching. I voted for the Violence Against Women Act to support programs that service survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault. I helped pass legislation to improve how the military handles sexual assault. I cosponsored the Maternal Health Momnibus Act, which provides historic investments in maternal care, paid family and medical leave, and childcare. You can count on me to continue to work to support women across New Mexico.

In all corners of New Mexico, I hear tragic stories about doctor and nurse shortages and rural hospital closures. It is all too common to travel for hours to receive care. We must make bold investments to recruit and maintain a strong health care workforce. That is why I have cosponsored bills like the Rural Physician Workforce Production Act and Healthcare Workforce Resilience Act that would improve our chronic rural healthcare workforce shortages by recruiting and retaining doctors in rural areas.

We must also lower the cost of health care. I strongly support fully funding and strengthening Medicare, Medicaid, and our nation’s network of community health centers to make sure everyone can access care. I proudly voted for the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), which President Biden signed into law on August 16, 2022. This landmark law lowers health care premiums and allows Medicare to negotiate drug prices and cap out-of-pocket costs at $2,000.

Immigrants bring invaluable talent and energy to communities in New Mexico and across the United States. Many leave everything they love behind in search of a better life for their families. They care for our elderly, pick and prepare our food, and are incredible entrepreneurs making our economy stronger and more vibrant. Indeed, we know that immigration boosts the U.S. economy and will grow our economy by more than $7 trillion over the next decade. Yet, our immigration system is broken. It provides few—and sometimes impossible—options to attain lawful immigration status. I believe we must pass comprehensive immigration reform so that our country can remain that beacon of hope and maintain and improve border security.

I am a strong supporter of the U.S. Citizenship Act. If enacted, this legislation would create an earned path to citizenship, address the root causes of migration that cause people to flee their countries, and enhance effective border security and drug interdiction technology. I am also working with my colleagues to pass the Farm Workforce Modernization Act to support migrant farmworkers. In addition, we need to make sure that Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients get the protections they need. I continue to work closely with my Congressional Hispanic Caucus to do just that.

I also want to protect families across New Mexico from the proliferation of fentanyl and other illicit drugs that come across our borders. That’s why I have voted for, and strongly support, robust funding for Department of Defense drug interdiction and counter-drug programs. I have also voted to require Customs and Border Protection to issue a strategic plan that addresses resource needs, including technology and staffing needs, to identify, assess, and remediate illicit cross-border tunnels that cartels may use for human smuggling and drug trafficking.

Having adequate resources at our borders is vital. To assist with an influx of migrants at our southern border, I voted for robust funding to hire 22,000 Border Patrol Agents and an additional 150 Customs and Border Protection Officers to effectively process migrants at ports of entry. To help our law enforcement at our borders, I have also supported major investments in innovative technology at ports of entry. Comprehensive immigration reform, addressing the root causes of migration, and effectively managing our borders must all move forward together to best improve our system.

In partnership with tribal leaders, I continue to search for ways to support Native American communities. My Telehealth Access for Tribal Communities Act would make sure that Native Americans can easily access audio-only telehealth services. Five of my bills would authorize Indian Water Rights Settlements for 12 tribes in my district to make sure the water flows. My Home of Your Own Act would provide downpayment assistance to help first-time homebuyers purchase a home.

Every numbered U.S. House roll call published by the Clerk during the configured service window is reconciled through the member's exact Bioguide ID. Clerk XML through 2002 does not publish Bioguide IDs, so those rows require a candidate-specific official House identity and service bridge plus one unique exact published-name, party, and state tuple. A published roll without an identity-safe row is retained as an explicit source omission and is not labeled as a vote or absence. Voice votes and other actions without member-level roll calls are outside this archive.
Official filings may be amended after publication.
