ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — U.S. Senators Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.) and Ben Ray Luján (D-N.M.) and U.S. Representatives Melanie Stansbury (D-N.M.) and Gabe Vasquez (D-N.M.) are welcoming $6.9 million in Infrastructure Law funding to help Albuquerque Public Schools replace older, diesel school buses with 20 new electric school buses.  

"Electrifying school buses is about making sure our kids aren't breathing in dangerous diesel fumes. This new funding will protect our kids' health, make our air cleaner, and save taxpayer money. This is the latest example of how our Infrastructure Law is building a better, healthier future for New Mexico's children," said Heinrich, a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee and co-founder and co-chair of the Electrification Caucus. 

SANTA FE, NM – The New Mexico State Parks Division is seeking public input on the San Juan River portion of its Navajo Lake State Park Management Plan with a new survey. The five-year plan is in the process of being updated through the year 2030.

"Thousands of visitors flock to Navajo Lake State Park and the San Juan River each year as an outstanding outdoor recreational area and world-class fly-fishing destination," said Toby Velasquez, State Parks Director. "A management plan for the park, and the portion of the river inside the park, is essential in guiding us toward short-term and long-range goals that will help sustain the park for generations to come. The public must be a part of this process and we welcome their input through our survey, so that we may incorporate their ideas into the management plan."
