Today, I gave what will likely be my last address to the House as your Representatives for New Mexico’s First Congressional District. Thank you all for entrusting me to represent you in Washington, holding me accountable, and giving me direction.

Congratulations to Chevel Shepherd on winning @NBCTheVoice. You’re making New Mexico proud! .

Today is the LAST day to sign up for health care at @HealthCareGov or @NMHIX. Please help me spread the word to your family and friends who may be in need of health care coverage. #OpenEnrollment.

The death of a 7-yr-old girl in custody of @CBP raises significant questions about leadership at @DHSgov & points to their continued inability to address the humanitarian crisis occurring at our southern border. We are demanding a full investigation into the death of this child.

RT @nmtechcouncil: Do you know an outstanding woman in #technology? Don't miss your chance to nominate them for the #WIT Celebration Awards….

With #openenrollment ending on December 15, there are just two days remaining to secure affordable health care for you and your family. Visit or to sign up today.

Our shared values and commitment to each other is and always has been this institution’s greatest strength. Let us never allow polarization, politics, and short-term political expediency undermine our obligation to make a difference in the lives of those who sent us here.

From my first day in Congress to my last, every constituent or stakeholder who stopped me on the street or walked into the office to tell me about their issues and priorities was my boss. It has been the honor of a lifetime to work for you.

Further, it will provide certainty to farmers and ranchers and demonstrate Congress's commitment to supporting rural communities throughout the country. I urge my colleagues to support and quickly pass this #FarmBill. 6/.

This bill also protects #SNAP & contains no cuts to the program which will ensure that no NM families lose their benefits. Considering that NM is one of the hungriest states in the nation, this legislation will keep countless New Mexicans from falling into poverty. 5/.

Expanding broadband access will grow New Mexico's economy, create jobs, boost wages, improve health outcomes, support small business growth, help our students learn, increase crop yields, and so much more. 4/.

This broadband program, modeled after legislation I introduced, will help transform the economies of rural areas in New Mexico. High-speed internet has revolutionized every aspect of the U.S. economy, including education, health care, and agriculture. 3/.

It was an honor to work with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to protect SNAP, support New Mexico Land Grants & Acequias, strengthen conservation & water management programs, promote Tribal sovereignty & establish the first ever broadband grant program in a Farm Bill. 2/.

I am proud to support this #FarmBill that advances the interests of New Mexican families, farmers, and ranchers for years to come. 1/.

I remain committed to working to end the gun violence epidemic in this country and across New Mexico.

Today, let’s take time to remember Francisco Fernandez & Casey Marque whose lives were tragically taken during a shooting at Aztec HS one year ago. I admire the resilience of the students at Aztec HS & the Aztec community as they continue to honor the lives of Francisco & Casey.

Today we honor the memories of all 2,403 Americans who perished at #PearlHarbor 77 years ago. May we never forget their courage and the great sacrifices they made to defend our country during WWII. #PearlHarborRemembranceDay

It’s National Influenza (Flu) Vaccination Week and not too late to get a flu vaccine! Flu viruses are always changing and the best protection against it is to get an annual flu vaccination.
