With @JoeBiden exiting the race, it is imperative that Democrats across the country unite behind the most qualified and battle-tested choice, @KamalaHarris. I hope that all of @NMDEMS delegates will quickly and publicly rally around VP’s candidacy. Adelante!
Violence has no place in our politics. I am praying for the former President's health and safety, a comprehensive rejection of violence or the threat of violence, and accountability for the perpetrator(s).
I’m heartbroken about the death of Las Cruces Police Officer Jonah Hernandez, who was killed in the line of duty last night. All of Las Cruces and all of New Mexico joins Officer Hernandez’s family, friends and colleagues in grieving this tragic loss.
📢 It's been a little over a year since New Mexicans sent me to Congress. Here's what we've been up to:
💊 Passing legislation to cut prescription drug costs
🇺🇸 Supporting our Veterans
🚔 Getting fentanyl off the streets
🏞 Tackling our state's water issues
Understanding and honoring the relationship the federal government has with our sovereign nations and upholding treaty rights is key to our collective success in #NM02. Thanks to Laguna Pueblo for the warm welcome during your Feast Day gatherings.
Under Secretary XTS, when asked to comment on why @usda is best suited to deliver broadband to rural America: "It's absolutely a fundamental piece of who we are, having people living in the communities they serve. It takes real connection with community so we can listen."
Q: How does @usda reach communities who lack broadband access?
XTS: "Our robust staff on the ground. Over 450 offices across the US, & folks who are used to going out and travelling. Being able to have validators who've navigated this process is also a great way to do this."
Here we go! RD Under Secretary XTS up now with opening remarks:
"It's not news to rural America, but everyone now knows the ugly truth when it comes to high-speed internet- so far most of rural America has been left in the slow lane."
