Rep. Martin Heinrich Co-Sponsors Legislation to Freeze Congressional Pay Raises

Today U.S. Representative Martin Heinrich (D-NM) cosponsored the Stop the Congressional Pay Raise Act. This bipartisan legislation would block a $4,700 automatic pay hike for members of Congress.

"A Congressional pay raise couldn't come at a worse time," said Rep. Heinrich. "Many New Mexicans will not have a cost-of-living increase this year, others have been forced to take pay cuts, and still others are unemployed."
