I spent April 20th at the New Mexico Water Leaders Workshop in Ruidoso, NM, connecting with leaders and learning more about the future of water in the Southwest. The field trip to Heart of the Desert and the National Desalination Plant in Alamogordo offered a valuable look at how agriculture and innovative water technology are helping shape resilient solutions. It also reinforced the importance of monitoring well levels and tracking salinity discharge to protect long-term water supplies and maintain healthy groundwater systems. Careful monitoring helps identify trends early, supports better management decisions, and ensures that water resources remain sustainable for communities, agriculture, and industry.

What an honor to join NM Supreme Court Chief Justice David Thompson, AOC Deputy Director Sarah Jacob's, and 1st Judicial District Court Chief Judge Hon. Bryan Biedscheid at the groundbreaking ceremony for the new Santa Fe Magistrate Court facility. This important project has been in the works for over a decade and will provide the court with adequate space and up-to-date facilities. I am deeply proud to have worked hard in the past year to ensure that capital outlay allocated by my predecessor Sen. Nancy Rodriguez would be re-authorized. It is an honor to carry on her legacy within the district and do all that I can to support the courts and the role they play in our communities.

It was an incredible honor to attend today’s signing of SB 241, landmark legislation establishing universal childcare in New Mexico. As a sponsor of this bill, I am deeply proud of the collaborative work that brought it to life — from advocates and educators to parents and community leaders.

This moment represents years of effort and a shared commitment to our children, our families, and the future of New Mexico’s workforce. Together, we’re investing in stronger communities and greater opportunity for every child.
