Martin Heinrich: Federal funds for semiconductor manufacturing in NM

Economy:

Nella Domenici (R): Decrease. "Right now, this country, this state, this city is suffering from inflation and high interest rates. That's because we had massive federal spending." "Radical regulations" are hurting job growth.
Martin Heinrich (D): Increase. Will "fight for… investments that cut costs," secure investments for agriculture, increase funding for technology and building infrastructure. Voted for federal funding increasing semiconductor manufacturing in the state.
