Teresa Leger Fernandez on Principles & Values

 

 


Need an economy that is equitable for all

We have an obligation to promote economic growth and stability, and address unjust income inequality. As a member of the U.S. House Committee on Education and Labor, I will work to protect families, students, and workers from stagnant wages. This committee touches so much of what we need in New Mexico and across our country: a $15 minimum wage, student debt reform, early childhood education, workforce development, strong worker and labor protections, and health care for all.

Certify 2020 Presidential election as fully & fairly counted.

Fernandez voted NAY blocking certification of the Electoral vote

Explanation of 1/6/21 Electoral Certification, by Emily Brooks, Washington Examiner:Sen. Ted Cruz and Rep. Paul Gosar led an objection to counting Electoral College votes from the state of Arizona, the first formal objection to state results in a series of moves that will delay the certification of Joe Biden as the winner of the 2020 presidential election over President Trump. Cruz is advocating for an `emergency 10-day audit` of election returns in disputed states. The usually ceremonial joint session of Congress that convenes to count and accept Electoral College votes will be put on hold as the House and Senate separately debate the objection.
