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.

I’m excited that Deb Haaland is the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Interior, Tracy Stone-Manning is the head of the Bureau of Land Management, and Chuck Sams III is the new Director of National Park Service! 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.

This year I’m thankful that Nicole Lujan, Behavioral Health Coordinator, and Dr. Wei pushed for us to take on the Wellness Hotel. We helped many individuals at high risk for COVID and facing homelessness. We worked nights and weekends, but it was worth it. I remember around Christmas, we went and sang Christmas carols to the residents and gave gifts to the kids. It was very humbling. Our work from the Wellness Hotel led to the purchase of the Lexington. I feel very blessed to work with such amazing people. Thank you, Dr. Wei, Dr. Lozado, Ethan, Judy, and others. I’m really thankful for Nicole, her willingness to help others and her love for this community is amazing. I’m also...Martin Heinrich U.S. Senator, D-NM
Thanksgiving has always been my favorite holiday. I love to make things like red chile elk enchiladas because it connects some of our most cherished outdoor experiences to a shared family meal. Quality time doesn’t get much better than that.
