Government Reform

I’m not taking a cent of corporate PAC money because my job is to represent my constituents, not corporate interests.". Learn more

Guns

In America today, mass shooting at supermarkets, festivals, or high schools are disturbingly common.  Yet Republicans in Washington care more about NRA lobbyists than our kids getting shot. It’s outrageous, and unconscionable.  In Congress, I will stand up to the NRA and its lobbyists.  I support additional restrictions on assault weapons and large capacity magazines because there is no reason that weapons meant for the battlefield should be present in our neighborhoods.  We have to get the weapons of war off of our streets.

Healthcare

We have to keep working to lower the cost of prescription drugs and ensure our seniors have access to the care and support they need. New Mexicans shouldn’t have to choose between life-saving medicines and putting food on their table. Learn more

Healthcare is a right and every American should have access to quality and affordable health care. New Mexico did the right thing in 2013 and expanded Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) which covered hundreds of thousands of New Mexicans who otherwise wouldn’t have had access to insurance. We need to build upon the foundation of Obamacare and restore all of the cuts to the system made by Trump and Republicans in Congress. We should make sure if people like their private plan they can keep it and provide a public option for anyone who can't afford a private plan. Learn more

Immigration

I will support real comprehensive immigration reform that protects our communities while also allowing asylum for families and children who need it. We also must protect DREAMers and the DAPA program, and ensure immigration reform also includes a pathway to citizenship for DREAMers and any child brought to the U.S. who claims this country as their home going forward.  Building a wall on our border using funds diverted from essential military programs is not the answer. Washington must come together to address the ongoing crisis at our border, and in Congress, I'll work hard to make sure that we do. Learn more

Taxes / Budget

I will reverse the Republicans tax plan and support legislation that puts middle class Americans first, instead of giant corporations and Wall Street. Learn more

Wages / Job Benefits

I’ll also push for legislation that protects the rights for unions to organize and believe strongly that the minimum wage must be increased to $15 an hour. Learn more
