Dear Friend,

It’s been a whirlwind 29 hours in Washington.

I want you to know I was proud to fight for you every step of the way.

Starting at 1:00 a.m. ET Wednesday, the Rules Committee gaveled in and began debate on the GOP’s “One Big Beautiful Bill Act.”

If you ask me, there is nothing beautiful about it. After debate ended late Wednesday night, the bill went straight to the floor. In case you’re wondering how I voted, I was a HELL NO.

Conservatives showed who they’re really fighting for in passing a shameful package that will strip millions of veterans, working families, and children of access to healthcare and food assistance—in order to provide permanent tax breaks to billionaires.  In so doing, nearly 14 million Americans will lose access to healthcare, 18 million children will lose access to food assistance and school meals, and millions of seniors will be impacted by cuts to Medicare.

This is not what the American people voted for and the GOP knows it, which is why they tried to sneak this bill through in the dead of night—not once, but twice.  Democrats laid it all on the line to stop this bill and its devastating impacts, filing over 500 amendments and working through the night for 29 straight hours. Meanwhile, the GOP cut side deals and snuck in more last-minute kickbacks for their wealthy friends and donors late into the night. But, the American people see what is happening, and this fight is far from over.  We will keep working to defeat this bill as it heads to the Senate using every tool we have.

Because that’s what it means to represent the American people and fight for a better world, and I will never back down in this fight.

I can’t stress enough how important your voice is to the fight for change. Keep speaking up, speaking out, and telling your stories on how these careless cuts could impact you, your friends, and your family.

I am always honored to hear and humbled by your stories. If you’d like to share your story with my office, please share it here.

I will continue to fight so that your voices and concerns are heard because New Mexicans matter.
