Thank you, New Mexico!
I'm honored by your trust and ready to keep earning it. Between now and November, we'll keep fighting to elect Democrats up and down the ballot and in Congress, I'll keep fighting to lower costs, protect health care, and stand up for New Mexico families.
Thanks to the almost two dozen states who have stepped up to make health care more affordable, even after Congress refused to extend federal subsidies. It’s helping more people get the care they need, and more states should follow their lead.

Luján: "Is your website lying?"
Carr: “Possibly. The FCC is not an independent agency.”

Senator Alex Padilla is a colleague and a friend. What happened to him is an embarrassment to our country.
We now have an executive branch that believes it can throw down and handcuff a sitting U.S. Senator – and lie about it.
I’m calling on every one of my colleagues, Democrat and Republican: Do the right thing. Don’t let this administration silence us.
If this is how this administration responds to a Senator with a question, you can only imagine what they're doing to farmworkers, to cooks, and to day laborers throughout California and across the country.
We will hold this administration accountable.

Please watch this wonderful interview I had the opportunity to do with Audrey & Jeremy, who simply want to keep their independence— and want lawmakers aware of the impacts of the reconciliation bill (as it’s currently written) on people like them.
.@ktumulty@washingtonpost: Fight everywhere. Ben Ray Luján, now a senator from New Mexico, ran the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee during that cycle. “We weren’t waiting. We showed up in all parts of America,” Luján recalled.
