Teresa Leger Fernandez Withholds Her Paycheck

OCTOBER 8, 2025 - RPNM Chairwoman Amy Barela's Statement On Teresa Leger Fernandez's Paycheck

It's nice that Representative Teresa Leger Fernandez has decided to withhold her paycheck during the government shutdown. But let's be honest, that's the least she could do after helping cause it. Her decision to play partisan politics in Washington has directly hurt New Mexican families, workers, and small businesses who don't have the luxury of skipping a paycheck by choice.

While New Mexicans are struggling with rising costs and uncertainty, Representative Leger Fernandez and her party have chosen political theater over responsible leadership. Our state deserves representatives who will fight to keep the government open, protect our border, and put working families first, not those who posture for headlines while their actions harm the very people they claim to represent.

New Mexicans need results, not political games.
