Moms in Congress just took on Speaker Johnson and won! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 “We’re changing the way that Congress works, making sure that moms and parents have a voice,” Pettersen said.

N.M. GOP reports 'deliberate act of arson' at Albuquerque headquarters "We are deeply relieved that no one was harmed in what could have been a tragic and deadly attack," party Chair Amy Barela said in a statement.

New Mexico House Democrats condemn political violence in all of its forms. We are grateful that no one was hurt in this senseless act. We appreciate law enforcement’s swift response and expect that those responsible will be held accountable.

Grateful to Chair Nathan Small & the House Appropriations and Finance Committee for their open, collaborative, and transparent process to build a budget that will have immediate impacts for New Mexicans now, while saving for and investing in our future. We’re leading with compassion and conviction!

No one should have to make 10 calls to find an appointment when they need behavioral health care, and that’s the reality that we are trying to change. Senate Bill 1 provides a sustainable, long-term funding source so we can meet New Mexicans’ needs today, and for many years to come.

Yesterday, the House passed a bill to let New Mexican service industry workers keep all the money from the tips they earn. HB 22 would prohibit employers from deducting credit card fees from workers’ tips.

Tonight, HB8, our public safety package passed the House floor! HB8 is the result of months of work and combines several smart, well-vetted & bipartisan public safety measures. This is a strong first step this session toward making New Mexico safer for all.

Thank you for fighting the good fight, @senatorheinrich.bsky.social

@nmhousedems.bsky.social will continue to push for state policies that make life more affordable for NM’s families. The plutocracy can’t stop us.

I joined @fernandez.house.gov and @senatorheinrich.bsky.social to demand answers from Postmaster General DeJoy about the Chimayó Post Office. After two years, it’s unacceptable that no action has been taken to rebuild. The Chimayó Post Office must be rebuilt now.

HB8, our public safety package, is headed to the House Floor. This bill brings together well-vetted proposals that reflect the input of law enforcement, community leaders & everyday New Mexicans.

Along w/ investments in behavioral healthcare, HB8 can help make New Mexico safer.

By guaranteeing and funding the right to early childhood education, New Mexico eliminated one of the biggest expenses for many families. A family with a 4-year-old & an infant in full-time care can now save around $23,000 on childcare per year.

Hosted dinner for our amazing cleaning crew this week. These are the people who keep the roundhouse moving. My mom & dad clean offices for a living too, so this one is personal for me.

To me, these folks are not invisible. These folks are the reason I do the work that I do.

#TrumpTarriffs are already raising prices. The price of a case of large avocados jumped $20 this week.🧐🥑

While the chaos in Washington continues, your NM House Dems are focused on delivering practical solutions that make life better and more affordable for you & your family.

New jobs report one of the worst since COVID - 143,000 jobs created. So far under Trump:
- GDP growth has slowed
- Job growth has slowed
- Inflation has risen
- Destructive tariffs loom
- Fed did not cut interest rates
- GOP econ plans will explode the deficit

Never pass up an opportunity to try the chicharrones and red chile from a matanza, even when you happen to be wearing a tan suit. Thank you to the gracious volunteers from Valencia County for feeding so many folks at the Roundhouse today!

We’ve built a movement that is radically compassionate and unapologetically hopeful.

New Mexico is well on its way toward the promised land.

This people powered movement will not stop.

We are our ancestors’ wildest dreams.

NM’s immigrant community showed up today. We are your cooks, your housekeepers, your construction workers, & yes we are also your Speakers of the House, your congresspeople and your city councilors. Maybe one day we’ll be your Governors and that little guy next to me may one day be your President.

It was great hosting former HUD Secretary @juliancastrotx.bsky.social at the Roundhouse a couple of weeks ago. Now leading the Latino Community, Sec. Castro is helping build the next generation of Latino leadership. Adelante!

Rare weekend off during legislative session. Made some bomb chilaquiles for bkfast then worked on the old truck. Supporting Canadian & Mexican beer brands today-because those beers are about to get more expensive.

Also, the almost 7qts of oil I bought for the oil change were pricey. #TrumpsTariffa
