It is my great honor to introduce legislation to permanently protect the Caja del Rio for generations to come.
Introduce and support legislation to permanently protect the Caja del Rio Plateau in New Mexico for future generations.
Occurrences
Evidence
Heinrich used a June 10 ENR committee statement to press for consideration of conservation bills and to criticize leadership for leaving bipartisan and Democratic conservation and public-lands items pending.
On June 11, Heinrich and Wyden held a press conference opposing efforts to repeal the Roadless Rule and framing the issue as a defense of protections for millions of acres of public land.
The official legislation inventory did not surface any Caja match, and the visible current list centers on other bills, including a wildlife-habitat connectivity measure.
Assessments
The promise is specific to introducing and supporting legislation to permanently protect the Caja del Rio Plateau. The provided evidence shows Heinrich remained active on public-lands and conservation issues in June 2026, but it does not identify a Caja del Rio-specific bill, sponsorship, or enactment. The absence of a Caja match on his visible legislation inventory also weighs against a finding of delivery, but it is not strong enough by itself to prove he never introduced or materially advanced such legislation at some earlier point. On this record, the commitment cannot be confirmed as fulfilled or definitively failed.
