Rural communities are important to the fabric of our nation. They provide the food we put on our tables & the energy that powers our lives. Yet, they’re facing increased hardships like never before. I testified before @EnergyCommerce today to shine a light on these challenges. ⬇️ pic.twitter.com/T29XNrdstb

Thank you @EsperDOD for setting up a new #PFAS Task Force to address these harmful contaminants. This is an issue that directly endangers NM communities & ag. As a Member of HASC, look forward to working with you & the task force to address PFAS exposure.

Robocalls aren’t just annoying. Many are outright frauds and scams looking to trick New Mexicans into giving up their personal information. It’s time to take action and end these calls. Proud to cosponsor the bipartisan #StopBadRobocalls Act. pic.twitter.com/QS7J0xLMwt

I’ve continued to speak up time & time again about the need to directly consult border communities when making decisions in D.C. that will directly affect them.
That is why I'm calling for the formation of a Border Community Stakeholder Advisory Committee. Watch ⬇️ pic.twitter.com/xkZeGTZAFz

NM families and tribes continue to pay the price for the nuclear research advanced during the Cold War era. That's why @RepDebHaaland @repbenraylujan & I have introduced legislation to compensate families affected by radiation exposure. #RECA2019

✅PASSED! Proud to help pass the #NDAA today. NM's military installations, like @WSMissileRange & @HollomanAFB are essential to our country’s national defense & I’ll always support the servicemembers & veterans that call southern NM home.

Tonight we’ll be considering an amendment I introduced to the #FY20NDAA to help military families get access to good, reliable internet. To learn why this issue is important and how it affects our military readiness, watch below pic.twitter.com/aU8NwK9oXh

There’s just some things we don’t compromise on. Hatch green chile is one of them. When’s the cook-off? I’ll bring my nana’s recipe.

It is time we get in front of this. It is time for this issue to receive adequate attention from the Pentagon. It is time DoD stops trying to limit liability and steps up to aid those who supported them.

That is why we want to explicitly give DoD the authority to provide uncontaminated water or water treatment when a military installation is found responsible for PFOS or PFOA contamination in agricultural products destined for human consumption.

Yet the DoD has repeatedly failed to address this problem and provide relief when water for agricultural use needs to be replaced.

Not only is this a case of precious wasted resources but shows that PFAS contamination affects local business’ livelihood as well.

For example, Highland Dairy Farm in New Mexico was forced to close its doors after 25 years due to a PFAS contamination from nearby Cannon Air Force Base.

Let's not forget that crops and herds are taking in the same contaminated water, in some cases destroying the livelihoods of farmers and sending contaminated products into grocery stores across the country.

They've been found in groundwater supplies near Cannon & Holloman AFB, endangering NM ag. It's time we get in front of this and provide our farmers across the country clean water.
