Ben Ray Lujan: Voted for Equality Act, expanded Violence Against Women Act

One of the proudest moments I had serving in Congress is when I voted for both the Equality Act and an expanded Violence Against Women Act that included real protections for LGBTQ+ women. The Equality Act, which is legislation that congressional Democrats have championed for years, bans discrimination in housing, education, the workforce, and other aspects of everyday life for LGBTQ+ individuals.

Ben Ray Lujan: Create true partnerships with Tribal communities

To create true partnerships with Tribal communities, it is incumbent that our governments recognize the pain and indignities Native Americans have suffered through racist policies that linger to this day. We must continue providing recourse for those injustices as a guiding principle. This is done by listening to Tribal elders and communities and showing respect and appreciation for the culture, public service, and contributions of Native Americans in every facet of our state and history.
