Issue Position: Energy

Issue Position

We have a duty to support responsible, clean energy policies that protect our environment and encourage innovation. I know firsthand how important these policies are to New Mexico and our economy, families, and environment. When I served as the Chairman of the New Mexico Public Regulation Commission, I worked with my fellow commissioners to develop a renewable portfolio standard to support clean energy production in New Mexico.

Renewable sources are critical to securing our country's energy needs now and in the future, and I'll continue to ensure New Mexico is a leader in the clean energy economy to the benefit of our families, workers, and environment.

My Record on Energy and the Environment

Highest-ranking co-sponsor of the Green New Deal -- a bold legislative effort to transition the United States to a clean energy future, take decisive actions to combat the climate crisis, and promote a platform of environmental justice.
Championed the Clean Energy Standard Act, legislation that will put the United States on a path toward net-zero emissions by the 2050s, increase the production of renewable resources by more than 25 percentage points, and prevent 30,000 premature deaths from air pollution in the U.S.
I authored the IMPACT for Energy Act to establish a nonprofit foundation that will channel investments to support the creation, development, and commercialization of innovative technologies that address our energy challenges.
