"I am honored to serve on subcommittees that are so vital to New Mexico's communities and to investing in and growing our STEM economy," said Congresswoman Stansbury. "From partnering with our Tribal and Pueblo nations, to investing in our STEM economy and supporting our National Labs, and addressing our most pressing needs in water and climate security--the work of these subcommittees is essential to New Mexico's future. I am looking forward to putting my background in STEM and water policy to work for our state and to ensuring that our nation lives up to its Tribal trust and treaty responsibilities and partners collaboratively with our communities. It is an honor to serve and I am excited to get to work."

The Congresswoman has also joined multiple Congressional caucuses to champion issues important to New Mexico, including the Congressional Progressive Caucus, the Democratic Women's Caucus, and the LGBTQ+ Equality Caucus.

"As the first woman elected to represent State House District 28 in 2018, and now as one of the 119 women currently serving in Congress, I am deeply committed to advancing women in leadership, gender equity, and LGBTQIA+ rights and equality," said Congresswoman Stansbury.
