In Their Words

What they have said, on the record

“I’m proudly working with Democrats and Republicans on a farm bill. I believe that we could actually get a farm bill across the finish line that will provide more support for food programs, help families in New Mexico and support families and ranchers, especially in western states.”
New Mexico Election 2026: US SenatorSep 11, 2026 · Press · Source New Mexico · source
“My approach always has been that I’m willing to work with anyone when it comes to helping people in New Mexico. But if you’re going to bully New Mexico, we’re not going to get along.”
New Mexico Election 2026: US SenatorSep 11, 2026 · Press · Source New Mexico · source
“Whether it’s AI data centers or any other industry, in New Mexico, drinking water needs to be for drinking and agriculture needs to be for agriculture. Plain and simple.”
New Mexico Election 2026: US SenatorSep 11, 2026 · Press · Source New Mexico · source
“With the passage of the ‘Big, Beautiful Bill’ and many of the aspects in there, what President Trump’s policies have done…is make families in New Mexico sicker and make families in New Mexico poorer.”
New Mexico Election 2026: US SenatorSep 11, 2026 · Press · Source New Mexico · source
“I’m very proud of my work ethic and what I learned on that farm — lifting up and helping neighbors and raising food and helping to share that everywhere that we can.”

“Health care matters to me. It matters to constituents. As you know, I survived a stroke four years ago, and I know time is not on your side if you have a chronic challenge or something like that gets you a health scare. And under this president, Republicans have eliminated the federal dollars with Medicaid, which will arguably close rural health care clinics across New Mexico as well.”
Ben Ray Lujan talks about his campaign for U.S. SenateMay 31, 2026 · Press · KRWG Public Media · source
“all my conversations with constituents throughout New Mexico, they’ve all shared with me how expensive everything is and how even more expensive things are getting. affordability and this conversation where the president suggests that everything getting more expensive is just the imagination of people across the United States of America. It just shows how disconnected this president is with the cost of fuel today, the cost of food today, the cost of electricity.”
