WASHINGTON, D.C. – On Thursday, September 14, 2023, U.S. Representatives Teresa Leger Fernández, Melanie Stansbury, and Gabe Vasquez shared a joint statement ahead of Governor Bill Richardson’s funeral services in Santa Fe.
On Thursday, September 14, 2023, U.S. Representatives Teresa Leger Fernández, Melanie Stansbury, and Gabe Vasquez shared a joint statement ahead of Governor Bill Richardson’s funeral services in Santa Fe. “Governor Bill Richardson was a mentor to so many, an inspiration to New Mexicans, and is a man worthy of the legacy he left behind. As we carry forward many of the Governor’s priorities in Congress and grieve for his family, we are proud to memorialize his time serving our nation. We are saddened we cannot go home to attend his funeral service, but Congress is in deep debate on appropriations. We know that Bill would have stayed in Washington, D.C., to fight for funding, our New Mexico communities, and against a government shutdown. We will honor his spirit of public service and legacy by fulfilling our duties in Congress.” |
