New Mexico's senior senator expects to fight for public lands and to focus on national labs and permitting reform in the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee in the coming congressional session.
Sen. Martin Heinrich will be the top Democrat on the Energy and Natural Resources Committee, leading the minority party opposite the committee's Republican Chair Sen. Mike Lee of Utah. The pair have a history of working together on bills like the recently passed Good Samaritan law to make abandoned mine cleanup easier. But the senators will be on opposite sides of a brewing fight over public lands.
