I’ll be honest, folks — I only have about 10 minutes of free time this afternoon. That’s because I’m on the road visiting with New Mexicans and helping to negotiate our Omnibus Appropriations bill, working to deliver both for New Mexicans and for veterans and servicemen and women across our country. Today, I want to take these 10 minutes to share a bit about why I came to the U.S. Senate to represent New Mexico in the first place. Growing up, my parents taught me the value of hard work. My dad was an immigrant and union lineman with the local utility company. My mom was a seamstress and an automobile tire factory worker. I worked my way through college to earn a mechanical engineering degree and started my career at what’s now known as the Air Force Research Laboratory at Kirtland Air Force Base in Albuquerque, working on directed energy. Then I learned firsthand about the importance of conservation work in rural communities as an AmeriCorps fellow. Before running for public office, I also worked for and with nonprofits, including leading an organization that helped kids get outdoors, and to help elect Democrats to the state legislature. From there, I served in the Albuquerque City Council, as a Natural Resources Trustee for New Mexico, in the U.S. House, and now in the U.S. Senate — always focusing on delivering for the people of New Mexico and tackling the climate crisis. Right now, my number one priority is to continue my work in the Senate, addressing the challenges we face head-on. That means improving lives for you and your family, acting on climate change, and propeling New Mexico and our country into the clean energy future. Now that you’ve taken some time to learn more about how I got here, I hope you’ll help me stay in the Senate by chipping in $10 or more to my re-election campaign before our end-of-month deadline expires.
