What’s in the first Farm Bill to make it out of the U.S. House since 2018? Thanks to Rep. Gabe Vasquez, it reduces red tape to improve ranches, lowers rural energy costs, gives land-grant tribal colleges easier access to USDA’s research programs, and more. The bill goes next to the Senate.

In the bill, Gabe directed the USDA to study the impacts on U.S. ranchers of our government’s prioritization of Argentinian beef over American beef. He also backed an amendment that would make pesticide companies legally accountable for negligence.

What do you think? Does it matter? Does it make our choices too early, before we have all the information? Can we affect the attitudes of the Nation?

DPNM and Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham just presented to the Democrats Rules and Bylaws Committee, making our case to become the first state to hold its presidential primary in the Southwest!

For years, New Mexico has exemplified what the Democratic Party stands for and done the organizing to help Democrats win elections across every level of government. From free college, universal early childcare, to helping keep healthcare affordable amid steep federal cuts, New Mexico Democrats have turned election victories into policy outcomes that help our families in real, meaningful ways.

As one of the most diverse, rural, working-class, and blue states in the country, we believe that our voters should have a say in who the Democratic presidential candidate is, and that candidates should have to earn our votes.
