As difficult as the COVID-19 pandemic has been, I am particularly grateful for the way communities across New Mexico came together to bring comfort and support to many in need.

Similarly, I witnessed food, clothing, and other basic needs shared generously by everyday New Mexicans, to try to ensure no one would go without. It was a genuine testament that even though we couldn’t be together, New Mexicans still stood together. For that I am grateful.

I am grateful for the men and women who serve our country, as well as those who serve in our local communities as first responders, police officers, firefighters, nurses, and medical professionals. I am thankful for their presence in our communities and their selfless commitment and sacrifice to protect our community. Behind all the first responders are families who love them and I want to take this opportunity to acknowledge them and express my gratitude to them for supporting and uplifting them in their time of need. On behalf of my family, I want to say thank you to all our military personnel and first responders for their service and sacrifice.

Also, the restoration of Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante national monuments and the proposed 20-year drilling ban near Chaco Culture National Historical Park are wonderful actions that have recently been taken by the Biden Administration.
