Criticized Republican budget proposal for prioritizing Trump spending over cost-of-living relief.
“In every corner of New Mexico and across the country, families are facing sky-high costs. Instead of spending billions to fund an out-of-control ICE and CBP and President Trump’s ballroom, my Republican colleagues should focus on lowering gas, grocery, and health care costs for American families.”

Luján Statement on Voting Against Steve Pearce to Serve as Director of the Bureau of Land Management
Voted against Steve Pearce confirmation as Bureau of Land Management director.
“I voted against Mr. Pearce because his record speaks for itself. The Bureau of Land Management stewards 13 million acres across New Mexico that support our outdoor recreation economy, ranchers, Tribal communities, and local economies. New Mexico cannot afford a director who has spent his career working against them.”
