Urban Wildlife Refuge in Albuquerque's South Valley Gets the Go-Ahead

October 10, 2011 by Democracy for N...

U.S. Rep. Martin Heinrich with students from Mountain View Elementary, in attendance at the announcement of what will become first national wildlife refuge in the Southwest. Mountain View Elementary is just down the road from the property.

Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar recently announced that a proposed 570-acre national wildlife refuge on a former dairy farm just a few miles south of New Mexico’s largest metropolitan area has been approved.  As proposed, the site will serve as an urban oasis for both wildlife and people. Very exciting, for everyone involved. Establishment of a new Albuquerque-based national wildlife refuge is a win-win situation for people and wildlife, for the economy and open space conservation, for visitors and residents alike.

10/12: Join Rep. Heinrich's Live Telephone Town Hall on Jobs and Manufacturing

October 8, 2011 by Democracy for N...

From Congressman Martin Heinrich:
We’ve always been proud to be a country that makes things. Our manufacturing tradition has long been a source of both pride and good-paying jobs. Now, at a time when millions are still out of work, it’s our responsibility to build on that tradition to create jobs, strengthen middle class opportunity, and secure our nation’s leading place in the world economy.

Earlier this year, I launched a “Make It In America” tour. I’ve been traveling across central New Mexico meeting with employees and touring small businesses and high-tech manufacturing companies. I’m highlighting how encouraging innovation, manufacturing, and entrepreneurship is creating new jobs at home and growing our economy.
