Congresswoman Teresa Leger Fernandez serves New Mexico’s 3rd Congressional District. She is the Freshman Representative to the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, the Special Hour Order Convener for the Congressional Progressive Caucus, and serves on the House Committees on Natural Resources, Education and Labor, and the Committee on House Administration, and Chairs the Subcommittee for Indigenous Peoples of the United States. She is a 17th generation Northern New Mexican. The daughter of bilingual education pioneers, she proudly started her education in Head Start, eventually going on to graduate from Yale and Stanford Law School. As an attorney and advocate, she has won significant legal battles to advance voting rights, promote tribal sovereignty, and protect our environment and our acequia waters. She helped secure nearly a billion dollars for, and then helped build, schools, rural health clinics, broadband, businesses, affordable housing and critical infrastructure for New Mexico’s diverse but economically struggling communities. A Clinton and Obama presidential appointee, Teresa worked as a White House Fellow on housing issues and as Vice Chair of the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation. Teresa and her three children live in Santa Fe.
