I look forward to working alongside my colleagues to pass this legislation to keep the government open and deliver these critical investments to New Mexico.
Work alongside colleagues to pass the appropriations legislation so the government stays open and critical investments are delivered to New Mexico.
Occurrences
I’m proud to have fought to secure these investments for our state, and I’ll continue working to deliver the federal dollars to support New Mexico projects.
Evidence
Congress.gov shows H.R. 7148 became Public Law No. 119-75 on 2026-02-03. The bill provided appropriations for several departments and temporary FY2026 DHS funding through 2026-02-13.
Luján's appropriations page currently advertises FY27 congressional-directed-spending and programmatic appropriations request forms, plus FY26 and FY25 disclosure pages.
The FY2026 disclosure page says Luján is publicly releasing the congressionally directed spending requests he submitted. The list includes New Mexico water, fire, public-safety, housing, and infrastructure projects.
The archive's newest visible budget-related entries are from April 22-23, 2026, including a statement on ICE/CBP funding and a Medicaid oversight release; the page does not show a later June appropriations update.
Assessments
Congress did pass a major FY2026 appropriations package during Lujan's current Senate term, which supports the part of the promise about working with colleagues to keep the government funded. There is also evidence that Lujan actively pursued New Mexico earmarks and appropriations requests. But the record provided does not clearly show that the promised 'critical investments' for New Mexico were actually enacted and delivered, as opposed to requested or advocated for. Because one major part of the promise was achieved while the New Mexico-delivery component is not fully proven in the evidence, partial credit is the best fit.
