Floor Speeches
Fernandez spoke on the floor 43 times on 32 session days in the 119th Congress.
- House, September 15, 2026, 654 wordsLessons on New Mexico's History
I rise to provide a history lesson. In 1598, New Mexico got its name. In 2026, Donald Trump's Presidency is the most unpopular of any President. His Iran war has pushed diesel prices to record levels, and his tariffs have cost Americans thousands.
That Day on the FloorRead in the Record ↗ - House, September 1, 2026, 558 wordsIn the Matter of Allegations Relating to Representative Chuck Edwards
Chuck Edwards' behavior over the past 2 years is disgusting and horrible. The sexual harassment of two young women on his staff and his abhorrent abuse of power is outlandish and disturbing.
That Day on the FloorRead in the Record ↗ - House, June 24, 2026, 345 wordsMoment of Silence Honoring Life of Juniper Blessing
New Mexico and Washington State rise today to honor the life of Juniper Blessing. Juniper was my constituent and attended the New Mexico School for the Arts High School.
That Day on the FloorRead in the Record ↗ - House, June 4, 2026, 173 wordsAgriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agency Appropriations Act, 2027
I rise to speak in favor of my amendment to conduct a comprehensive study on large-scale algae production for agricultural and livestock uses.

I rise today in honor of an extraordinary woman from my beautiful New Mexico, Sarah Ghiorse.

President Trump has not used his first 18 months in office to reduce costs or end foreign wars like he promised--quite the opposite. Last week, he said he doesn't ``think about Americans' financial situation.''

- House, March 4, 2026, 212 wordsHonoring Cora Vigil Gomez
I rise to honor the life and legacy of Cora Vigil Gomez, one of the first women on the Tribal Council for the Jicarilla Apache Nation.
That Day on the FloorRead in the Record ↗ - House, March 4, 2026, 3,161 wordsProviding for Consideration of H.R. 7744, Further Additional Continuing Appropriations Act, 2026
Six Americans are dead, and bombs are falling on our consulates and bases and allies because Trump has started what he has now said could be a, in his words, forever war. This is the same President who said: ``I am not going to start wars. I am going to end them.''
That Day on the FloorRead in the Record ↗ - House, February 4, 2026, 890 wordsCritical Mineral Dominance Act
We keep hearing from the other side that we need to mine in America, and we just heard the ranking member talk about how if we are going to mine in America, if we are going to mine anywhere, we should make sure that it is done free of corruption. He didn't use that word, but that is the word that we are worried about.
