From serving in our Armed Forces, to starting businesses that strengthen our economy, to fighting for civil rights, the Hispanic community helps build a stronger, more resilient America. In New Mexico, we're proud of our Hispanic culture and heritage and all that this community has contributed to our state's rich history. "I remain deeply committed to addressing the issues that matter most to Hispanics in our state -- such as investing in early childhood education, gaining access to quality health care services, raising the minimum wage, ensuring equal pay for equal work, making college more affordable, and fixing our broken immigration system once and for all. I am proud to be a partner of New Mexico's Hispanic community in the Senate, and look forward to working together to build a better New Mexico."
