I’m proud to vote for a strong alternative that will protect New Mexicans’ health and safety, and protect good paying jobs here in the United States." The EPA’s proposed coal ash regulations are estimated to cost between 184,000 and 316,000 jobs—jobs protected by H.R. 2218. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, as well as numerous other trade and business organizations, endorsed the bill. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
