House Republicans stopped @NMHouseDems from imposing the largest tax increase on NM businesses in state history ‼️
HUGE victory for New Mexico. 🎉 #nmpol
Leading involves working with people you may disagree with on 90% of issues, but capitalizing on the 10% you do agree on to make a difference and provide results for your constituents.
We must set aside political differences to make sure all New Mexicans are fairly represented.
“Because of one person” ☝🏻
No single person should have unilateral power that affects millions of people without the oversight and participation of the legislative branch.
It’s time to end the days of unnecessary, unconstitutional and destructive emergency orders‼️ #nmpol
NM House Republicans just wrapped up their press conference regarding the Joint Resolution to amend the constitution intended to limit the Governor’s powers, no matter who it is, and restore checks and balances in state government.

Did you know? 🤔
@NMHouseDems are fast tracking bills aimed at massively reducing oil and gas production, with no plan to replace our energy demand or the funding it provides for NM? 🤦♂️
Billions of dollars will disappear from our education system, just like that‼️ #nmpol
I had the privilege to attend the Science, Technology, and Telecommunications Committee at the NM/Mexico border last week.
Amazingly, Santa Teresa is now the 6th largest commercial border crossing in the US. #nmpol
Rio Rancho, it’s Election Day! Go vote!
Mary and I voted early, last week. Local politics is so important to our everyday lives, and your vote DOES matter. #ElectionDay2023
I attended the annual National Conference of State Legislators meeting in Indianapolis. I also attended the State and Local Taxation Task Force meeting. It’s crucial to continue discussing the issues facing New Mexico and other states who face the same battles.

I had the privilege of being on a panel for the Air Force Research Lab Cyber Security meeting. Cyber Security, especially in space applications, is a huge opportunity for NM. We have a ton of world class expertise here! #nmpol

BCSO Deputies were recently dispatched to conduct a welfare check in the North Area Command. Upon reaching the location, they encountered a United States Veteran who, unfortunately, was physically unable to maintain the front yard, resulting in an overwhelming amount of weeds and bugs. Recognizing the challenges faced by the veteran, the deputies promptly reported the situation to their sergeant. Inspired by the veteran's service to the country, the north day shift squad and their sergeant decided to take matters into their own hands and lend a helping hand.
This heartwarming incident highlights the core values of the Bernalillo County Sheriff's Office, which go beyond just upholding the law. It underscores their deep commitment to being caring and responsible community caretakers. While protecting the community is their primary duty, they also extend a helping hand to those in need, fostering a sense of unity and compassion within the neighborhoods they serve.
In 2015, I co-sponsored HB563 to establish the Rio Grande Trail Commission. This created a recreational trail for New Mexico residents and tourists to enjoy the natural beauty of our state and learn about New Mexican history and culture along the way. #TBT
Republicans and Democrats came together to oppose trial attorney's siege on healthcare professionals. We can have quality access to healthcare AND protect patients and their loved ones. Proud of the bipartisan work we accomplished but there is still work to be done #nmpol#nmleg
Rio Rancho was ranked among the best places to live in the US! Mary and I both grew up in Rio Rancho. After being away for school, we both decided to move back home and raise our family here, too. It’s an amazing place to set roots! #nmpol
Our flag is a sacred symbol for freedom and hope. From its origins to represent a bold rebellion from tyranny, it flies today as a reminder that America is still the world's greatest hope for peace and prosperity. 🇺🇸
I passed HB 199 which increases funding for k-12 school fine arts programs including band, chorus, orchestra, art, drama, and literature.
We know these to be critical in enriching students' public education experience and the data shows these students perform higher in math
I had the privilege of speaking at the Tesla Grand Opening event in Sandoval County Thursday morning. What an incredible facility and wonderful opportunity for our area! @elonmusk - Thank you for your vision and work with Tesla and SpaceX!
