Our current 150 year-old mining laws are not equipped for today’s environmental challenges, but Republicans' response is to make it easier, not harder, for greedy foreign mining corporations to take what they want and leave their mess behind.

On #CWA51, I joined @gracenapolitano, @RepDonBeyer, @Rep_Stansbury & 114 @HouseDemocrats to introduce the #CleanWaterAct of 2023 to restore historic, bipartisan protections to wetlands & streams lost through #SCOTUS’s misguided Sackett decision. – at Washington, DC

It's the 51st anniversary of the #CleanWaterAct 💦 Did you know that wetlands are among the most productive ecosystems in the world? Over one-third of the U.S. threatened and endangered species live in wetlands, & nearly half use wetlands at some point. ow.ly/Mwrm50PXhCu

🎂 Happy birthday to the Clean Water Act! Established on this day in 1972, the act enables states and Tribes to officially designate rivers as Outstanding—protecting them for future generations. Here’s why safeguarding our rivers is so important. 👇

Since Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks was named a national monument, visits have tripled & the area has seen $234M in economic growth. 10 years ago, I worked to protect this monument & I’ll continue working to protect our public lands. nmpoliticalreport.com/2023/0…

This proposal provides key protections for this landscape for 50 years. My legislation — the Buffalo Tract Protection Act — would make these protections permanent. It is time we put an end to this years-long debate and withdraw these parcels from future mineral development.

The Buffalo Tract is clearly the wrong place for a gravel mine. Today, the @Interior heeded our calls and released a proposal to withdraw 4,000 acres of @BLMNational lands in southern Sandoval County.

Incredible news! This is a crucial step in safeguarding our communities’ sacred and ancestral lands and ecosystems. As the House lead of the Buffalo Tract Protection Act in partnership with @SenHeinrich, I'm thrilled to see more than 4,000 acres within Sandoval County protected.

The Interior Department announced a plan Monday to protect more than 4,000 acres in an Indigenous placitas area known as Buffalo Tract, partly by barring new oil drilling and mining for 50 years. It would safeguard sacred tribal lands in Sandoval County. sfnm.co/461578X
