Luján Statement on President Biden’s Announcement

Washington, D.C. -U.S. Senator Ben Ray Luján (D-N.M.) issued the following statement on President Biden's announcement that he will not seek reelection:

"President Biden has devoted his life to serving the American people and putting working families first. I know President Biden, and I respect him, his character, and his strong leadership. There is no one like him.

"President Biden accomplished what his predecessor could not - landmark investments in infrastructure and growing the economy, lowering prescription drug costs, and addressing the climate crisis.
