It’s been a humbling experience serving New Mexico’s 3rd Congressional District for the last decade. There are few jobs where you’re lucky enough to see the impact of your work on your neighbors and community.

🌎#SolvingTheClimateCrisis will allow us to build a healthy, resilient & just America for generations to come.
It can also put Americans back to work in clean energy jobs, as we rebuild our economy & make it stronger than ever.
Let's get to work. 💪 climatecrisis.house.gov/repo…
It is crazy to invest in basic research and not use those discoveries to make better decisions.
The need for protecting government science goes beyond climate science and national security. Just about everything we do in society depends in some way on research and data coming out of the federal government. bit.ly/2ITcBT8

How is reconstituting ISIS, abandoning the Kurds, and green lighting a slaughter by the Turks not our concern? #questionsreaganwouldask

My chief of staff, Angela Ramirez, was featured on a @politico panel this evening to discuss how female leaders are changing the dynamics in the U.S. House. I’m so proud of her and all her hard work, and I’m thankful for her advice and counsel each and every day #proudboss

When it comes to climate, the changes we’re seeing in New Mexico are extreme & dangerous - and unless we take equally as extreme & drastic actions to solve the #ClimateCrisis, the consequences will be dire.

I'm glad to see that the move to zero-emission energy sources is gaining national momentum! As states like New Mexico lead the national conversation and take action to combat climate change, it's crucial that federal legislation follows suit.
Climate change is here, and it’s threatening the security of our nation. We must take action, which is why I’m proud to introduce legislation with @SenTinaSmith to move the U.S. to net-zero emissions and combat the climate crisis.

While many in Congress seem fixated on climate “messaging,” it’s encouraging to see @SenTinaSmith & @repbenraylujan’s CES bill start a substantive debate about a potential climate solution.

New Mexicans understand how important our national laboratories are for our economy and education opportunities. I was proud to visit the @LosAlamosNatLab yesterday to hear more about their work & how I can continue to advocate for our labs.

It is vital that we pursue clean and renewable energy technologies to curb the impacts of climate change. Today, I discussed how we can advance clean energy and decrease emissions through federally funded innovation with Former Secretary of Energy Dr. Ernest Moniz.

I’m humbled to be recognized as a leader on these issues and more by @LCVoters, who gave me a 97% score on their 2018 #LCVScorecard.

When it comes to infrastructure investments, the President can’t just talk the talk tonight, he needs to walk the walk. We need comprehensive investments in our roads, bridges, and broadband infrastructure to meet the demands of our 21st-century economy. #SOTU

Today, I joined advocates in New Mexico to discuss #HR1 - our plan to make it easier, not harder to vote. H.R. 1 will end the days of long lines, shoddy voting machines, shady voter suppression schemes, and Republican efforts to purge voter rolls.
Todd Ringler retweeted
Today I joined @HouseDemocrats in introducing #HR1, the #ForThePeopleAct, a historic reform package to restore the promise of our nation's democracy, end the culture of corruption in Washington, and reduce the role of money in politics.

Climate change is a national security issue. Climate variability and extreme events can exacerbate conflict, displace populations, damage infrastructure, and result in food insecurity. This all has implications for the U.S. military. #NCA4 #ClimateCrisisCountdown

The bipartisan #FirstStepAct that passed the House today makes much-needed reforms to America’s criminal justice system, including important improvements to address mass incarceration and mandatory minimums.

Proud to see the UNM community come together and push for 100% renewable energy by 2050. This generation is stepping up to lead the way in creating a more sustainable future for all of us. abqjournal.com/1258622/unm-p…

I’m proud to partner with @repbenraylujan, @repmarkpocan, @RepStephenLynch, @CongBoyle, & @janschakowsky on the Accountable Capitalism Act, which they introduced in the House yesterday. With their support, we’re closer to helping workers get the higher wages they deserve.
Elizabeth Warren’s Accountable Capitalism Act now has House cosponsors include the head of the Progressive Causes and one of the top leaders in the next generation of House Democrats. vox.com/2018/12/14/18136142/…
