“I am honored to have been elected by New Mexicans to serve a third term in the United States Senate,” said Heinrich. “In this new Congress, I look forward to continuing to deliver for the people and places of New Mexico — never wavering in the fight to lower costs for working families, grow our economy, unlock our clean energy future, and keep our communities safe. Let’s get to work.”

In the 119th Congress, Heinrich will serve as Ranking Member for the Senate Energy and Natural Resources (ENR) Committee.

Heinrich will continue to serve on the U.S. Senate Appropriations Committee, the U.S. Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, and the U.S. Congress Joint Economic Committee. Heinrich will also serve as Co-Chair of the Senate Artificial Intelligence (AI) Caucus, the Senate Fusion Energy Caucus, and the Bicameral Electrification Caucus. Additionally, Heinrich will serve as Co-Chair of the International Conservation Caucus and the Senate Outdoor Recreation Caucus.
