Senator Ben Ray Luján

When I questioned President Trump’s nominee to lead the Social Security Administration if he would commit to not closing offices in New Mexico, he refused to make that commitment. The more than 500,000 New Mexicans who depend on Social Security deserve better. I just voted…

Why can't you just say yes?

I was honored to welcome @LtGovMorales and the New Mexico Military Base Planning Commission to my office this morning. Our New Mexico Delegation is working to secure more than $183 million for our military bases for FY26, and we’re working together to ensure every dollar is put…

Gutting public broadcasting hurts New Mexicans. Period.

Republicans’ Big, Beautiful Betrayal will blow a $3.4 trillion hole in our deficit, raise energy costs, and kick 10 million people off their health insurance. Why? All for billionaire tax cuts.

You can’t rip away health care from millions without adding tons of uncompensated care into the system and raising costs for all.   The big, cruel, horrible bill is going to be a devastating setback for our health care system.

Millions of Americans are about to see their premiums practically double overnight. All so Trump’s billionaire buddies could get another tax cut. Congress must step in to fix this NOW.

Congressional Republicans just passed a bill that adds $3.4 TRILLION to the debt. – The largest Medicaid cut in history, kicking millions off their health insurance – The deepest SNAP cut ever, slashing food assistance for hungry kids and families – All to hand billionaires…

I questioned President Trump’s nominee to be Assistant Secretary for Indian Affairs within the Department of the Interior. It should be easy to say it's unacceptable to let the Navajo-Gallup pipeline fail. Watch:

Public radio saves lives. When wildfires and floods hit New Mexico, local stations delivered real-time alerts that helped families evacuate and stay safe. Last week, Republicans voted to slash funding for public broadcasting – risking lives in New Mexico and across the country.

Turns out taking away Americans' Medicaid and food assistance to pay for tax breaks for the wealthy isn’t popular.

Flash Flood Warning including Mora NM, Cleveland NM and Gascon NM until 3:45 PM MDT

The threat of burn scar flash flooding remains today where a Flood Watch is in effect for the Ruidoso area. Afternoon thunderstorm coverage peaks Tue and Wed before drier and hotter conditions are favored to end the week. #NMwx

It’s still unbelievable to me that Republicans slashed health care for 17 MILLION Americans after promising they wouldn’t come for Medicaid. When health care costs go up, we will know exactly who is to blame.

New Mexicans harmed by radiation exposure – and uranium workers who risked their health on the job – may now qualify for compensation under the newly expanded Radiation Exposure Compensation Act. Visit lujan.senate.gov/reca to check your eligibility and get ready to apply.…

This week, @SenatorShaheen released a new @SFRCdems report, detailing how the Trump Admin’s first six months have significantly undermined America's ability to compete with China—by cutting our diplomatic infrastructure and retreating on the global stage. Watch to learn more ⬇️

Our national labs make remarkable contributions to technologies that improve everyday life and keep the U.S. on the cutting edge of innovation. Today, I introduced legislation with @SenatorLujan to ensure our national labs get the infrastructure upgrades they need to continue…

Republicans voted to defund public broadcasting. Now, more than 100 TV and radio stations will be at risk of closing and millions of Americans who rely on them for local news and emergency alerts will be left in the dark. It is cruel and un-American.
