Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. devoted his life to creating a world where peace prevails over violence, and triumph rises over division. On his birthday, let us let’s recommit ourselves to his vision of peace and unity, working together towards a more just New Mexico and beyond.

We deserve leaders who possess the deepest respect for public service and all individuals, and who can lead with integrity. Pete Hegseth does not share that same sense of respect and responsibility, and I stand firmly against his appointment as Secretary of Defense.

Let me be clear: Anyone with a direct financial conflict of interest in DOGE or any other committee should not be able to use the committee for their own profit. It’s wrong and unethical. That's why I offered an amendment to the House Oversight Committee saying just that.

I am heartbroken at the passing of Dr. Harold Bailey. As President of the NAACP and a New Mexico leader, he was a pillar in the community, mentor to many and cared deeply about making the world a better place. His work on civil rights and early education will be remembered for generations.

Rep. Alcon was a fierce advocate for our people, the economy, the environment and our Veterans. My prayers are with his family and everyone who loved and learned from Rep. Alcon. His loss will be deeply felt at the Roundhouse and across this state. Rest in Peace dear friend, we will miss you.

I am heartbroken to learn of the passing of my dear friend and mentor State Rep. Eliseo Alcon. As a Veteran, Magistrate Judge, and State Representative—he dedicated his life to public service and was always rooted in community.
