Priorities

Apparently as Chairman of the DCCC, Ben Ray Luján cares more about serving his far-left environmentalist financial backers than New Mexico families.

Today, President Trump signed an executive order stopping Obama-era climate regulations experts say would cost $8.4 billion in regulations, force the closure of 66 power plants, and kill 125,800 jobs.

Historically a mining state, the New Mexico Department of Workforce Solutions shows that the Mining sector is one of the highest-paying industries in New Mexico. Not to mention, the New Mexico Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources says 32% of the state’s total energy needs are met through coal.

But Luján tweeted today that President Trump’s executive action “walks away from nat’l clean power plan & will have deep impact on our environment, economy & health.”

It’s pretty clear what Ben Ray Luján’s priorities are. They’re not New Mexico families or jobs.
