Albuquerque, N.M. – U.S. Senator Ben Ray Luján (D-N.M.) concluded a series of events in Albuquerque this week, visiting the Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Office to discuss public safety and meeting with local business leaders to discuss the impacts of President Trump’s reckless tariffs on New Mexico businesses and workers. These meetings follow his tour through Northern and Central New Mexico last week.
“On the second week of my New Mexico tour, I had the opportunity to meet with the law enforcement officers who work tirelessly to keep our communities safe, as well as with local business leaders who are paying the price for President Trump’s reckless tariffs,” said Senator Luján. “From visiting the Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Office to stopping by Red Rock Coffee Roasters to hosting a roundtable with local business leaders, I spoke directly with New Mexicans who are the backbone of our state.
