$200 million for high-speed internet is urgently needed

The pandemic has reminded us that New Mexico cannot wait any longer to invest in reliable high-speed internet for all in our state. I call on the Legislature to commit at least half of their capital outlay allocations to new broadband investments, some $200 million. This is the most urgently needed infrastructure investment we can make as a state. And we must make it. Together we must put in place this essential building block and avow our unequivocal faith in New Mexico's economic future.

Lift cap on rebates for film production

Our film and television industry is a powerful tool for economic development. When productions come here, they put New Mexicans to work--whether you're on a crew, whether you're a caterer, whether you're an aspiring filmmaker and you need a foot in the door. I want Hollywood to hear me, I want talented young New Mexican writers, producers and actors to hear me, I want moviemakers across the globe to hear me: We are open for business, bring your cameras.

Supports Net Neutrality: equal access to Internet

Michelle Lujan-Grisham (D): Yes. Co-sponsored Congressional resolution to reinstate net neutrality.

Steve Pearce (R): No. Net neutrality rules "undermine the free marketplace."
