| February 11, 2026 Albuquerque, NM – Chairwoman Barela responds to KOAT on the SAVE Act and Virginia’s Law currently in Congress: Statement on SAVE Act: “Teresa Leger Fernandez is purposely overcomplicating the SAVE Act to distract from the fact that Democrats are against requiring photo ID to vote and requiring citizenship to register. Make no mistake, the SAVE Act will secure our elections. It is a common sense bill and, if Democrats won’t commit to supporting the SAVE Act, it should concern every American.” Statement on Virginia’s Law “We stand unequivocally with the victims of sexual abuse. Sexual predators should face the full, crushing weight of justice for their crimes, which is one of the many reasons why we stand with law-enforcement. Make no mistake, the anti-law enforcement rhetoric that we are hearing from Democrats does absolutely nothing to protect victims and survivors of sexual assault.” – Chairwoman Barela – Chairwoman Barela ### |
