- I've had some questions today about the Violence Against Women Act. I voted FOR the Violence Against Women Act Reauthorization when it passed the House over seven months ago. It’s unacceptable that Senate leadership chose to play politics with women’s lives and safety for that entire time, rather than reauthorize this important law. I’ve been meeting with New Mexico constituents on this issue, and they feel as I do, that this law is important and needs reauthorization. I call on the Senate to put politics aside and approve it now.

I could not support last night's proposal, or any plan that doesn’t provide a solution. Washington doesn’t have a tax problem, it has a spending problem.- The House is in session again today in Washington--standing by for the Senate and the President to act on any of the bills the House has already passed to avoid sequestration and the fiscal cliff. See the video below for information on what it means for you if they don't take action:

- To all of those who have called or emailed to let me know that they are praying for me, thank you. Prayer is so important in our daily lives, and your prayers of support and encouragement lift me up and keep me going.

And, most importantly, it’s a time to celebrate the birth of our Lord and savior. I hope that for you, this holiday is filled with peace, joy, and truly special moments.
Cynthia and I wish you and your family a very merry Christmas and a blessed New Year. - Cynthia and I are saddened by the loss of Katherine Ingold—a dear friend and a great New Mexican.
