It has been the honor of my life to represent #NM02. Over the past two years, I've worked to dive into the details and listen to different voices — whether we agree or disagree. Amidst our challenges, I find hope in building common ground: https://t.co/HhjvGMAgGO

Congress passed the NDAA to protect our nat'l security, secure a 3% pay raise for troops, & support military installations worldwide

The President’s veto puts this at stake

I will continue to stand up for our servicemembers & vote to override this veto https://t.co/BBVyIF7HBU

(2/2) This bill -- passed by both the House & Senate -- is a result of bipartisan, months-long negotiations & will support our troops by authorizing a well-deserved pay raise. It's critical the President puts our nat’l security & service members 1st by signing the NDAA into law.

(1/2) Let's be clear. Our national security is not up for partisan games. Military installations across New Mexico and critical missions worldwide depend on lawmakers to fulfill their duty and pass the bipartisan National Defense Authorization Act.

Last night, the House passed the annual defense bill. I'm proud of the work I've done to advocate for the needs of our nation's service members & the critical missions they carry out.

I urge the President to swiftly sign the annual defense bill into law. https://t.co/lP25HzVEey

NM COVID-19 cases continue to skyrocket. Too many families, biz, & workers are continuing to suffer. Our community cannot afford continued stalemate. I support this bipartisan proposal & am committed to seeing the next emergency relief package through. https://t.co/WiOSipVYou

(2/2) It’s crucial Congress swiftly passes this legislation & President Trump signs it so military installations in NM and across the world have the resources needed to carry out missions. https://t.co/5uJKereK23

(1/2) Supporting our national defense remains one of Congress’s most important jobs—and getting the NDAA signed into law is fundamental to protect our country & servicemembers. I am honored to have served as a conferee to negotiate remaining differences.
