That Day on the FloorRead in the Record ↗ - House, September 3, 2026, 159 wordsStanding With Ranchers and Farmers

That Day on the FloorRead in the Record ↗ - House, September 2, 2026, 33 wordsProposing an Amendment to the Constitution of the United States to Require That the Supreme Court of the United States Be Composed of Nine Justices
Today, the GOP is proposing a constitutional amendment to lock in the current conservative Supreme Court. In fact, it would take away the power of this Congress to reform the Court.
That Day on the FloorRead in the Record ↗ - House, September 2, 2026, 675 wordsGiving Voice to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Principles

After 5 weeks of being out for the August district work period, a war is raging in the Middle East; the economy is in shambles; working people of this country cannot afford food, housing, and healthcare; the President is raiding the Venezuelan oil reserves and lining his own pockets; and what are we doing on the House floor after 5 weeks of break?

That Day on the FloorRead in the Record ↗ - House, July 15, 2026, 2,326 wordsFarewell to Doge
The scandals, the gossip--when New Mexicans tune in to see what is happening here in Washington, it feels like they are tuning into an episode of a reality TV show rather than another day in the people's House, but the messiest House isn't an overseas villa. It is the White House.
That Day on the FloorRead in the Record ↗ - House, July 14, 2026, 118 wordsWe Must Choose Better
Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, Joan Sebastian Guerrero, Ruben Ray Martinez, Alex Pretti, Renee Good, and dozens of others are now dead at the hands of ICE, this administration, and detention centers across the country.
