Senator Luj\u00e1n heard directly about how these changes could impact Northern New Mexico communities and shared updates on his work in the Senate to push back against policies that threaten New Mexico\u2019s public lands.\n\n\u201cNew Mexico\u2019s public lands are central to our way of life,\u201d said Senator Luj\u00e1n. \u201cIn Tierra Amarilla, I heard directly from local leaders and advocates about their concerns with the Trump administration\u2019s attacks on our public lands. From drilling and mining proposals to the rollback of protections that New Mexicans depend on, we\u2019ve seen this administration go after lands that have meant so much to generations of New Mexicans. I will continue fighting back against these attacks and working alongside our communities to protect New Mexico\u2019s cherished lands and water for generations to come.\u201d\n\nSenator Luj\u00e1n has long fought to protect New Mexico\u2019s public lands and cherished sites. Recently, Senator Luj\u00e1n introduced the Chama Basin Watershed Protection Act, legislation to permanently withdraw certain federal lands in the Rio Chama Watershed from mineral development. Additionally, Senator Luj\u00e1n has fought to establish permanent protections for Chaco Canyon.\n\n###", 1, "2026-09-04T09:19:37Z", "2026-09-04T09:20:58Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.lujan.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/in-tierra-amarilla-lujan-meets-with-local-leaders-to-fight-back-against-trump-administration-attacks-on-public-lands/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.6264459118247032, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
