I think I'll just call him torres.
It's a she and Torres beat out the Yvette Herell, the native american running as a republican. Happy for the dem win.
Someone corrected me earlier when I confused Yvette as the dem in this race. But yes NOW all 3 of New Mexico's congressional districts are held by democrats.
So if anyone gives you that border shyt, just point them to NM and ask them what's the difference between the way their members handle border issues and the way AZ and TX officials do.
By the way, here are the 2 other congressional leaders:
Michelle Lynn Lujan Grisham (
/ˈluːhɑːn ˈɡrɪʃəm/; born October 24, 1959) is an American lawyer and politician who serves in the
United States House of Representatives since 2013 and is the
Governor-elect of New Mexico. She is a member of the
Democratic Party. On November 6, 2018, she became the first Democratic woman elected as governor for New Mexico, as well as the first Democratic Latina elected governor in United States history, after winning the gubernatorial race against Republican U.S. Representative Steve Pearce.
Ben Ray Luján (
/ˈluːhɑːn/;
[1] born June 7, 1972) is an American politician serving as the
U.S. Representative for
New Mexico's 3rd congressional district since 2009. The district is based in
Santa Fe, the state capital, and includes most of the northern portion of the state. A member of the
Democratic Party, Luján previously served as a member of the
New Mexico Public Regulation Commission from 2005 to 2008. He was elected to be Chairman of the
Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee on November 18, 2014, taking office on January 3, 2015. Luján has supported increased funding for the
Bureau of Indian Affairs and
Indian Health Service.
[11] He opposed the Stop the War on Coal Act of 2012 and was in favor of preserving sacred Native American ground.
[13] Luján worked to create legislation enabling tribes to directly request disaster assistance from the president.
[14]Luján's district contains 15 separate
Pueblo tribes as well as tribal lands of the
Jicarilla Apache Nation and
Navajo Nation.
[15] In February 2009, Luján introduced a series of five water accessibility bills that, along with improving access to water for the many communities in the district, would also give federal funds to Indian tribes. Along with
Harry Teague (D-NM) and
Ann Kirkpatrick (D-AZ), Luján sponsored an amendment to the House health care bill that would extend the current Indian Health Care system until 2025. Tribal governments were major donors to his 2012 re-election campaign.
That's the type of talk I'm talking about lol
