I’ve worked hard to incorporate the feedback we’ve heard from Tribes and New Mexicans into this Substitute Amendment, and I’m proud to join my colleagues in releasing it today.

BAAJA will help lower energy costs, strengthen Tribal consultation, and create more good-paying jobs. It also makes sure data centers pay for the energy they use and the grid upgrades they cause, instead of passing those costs on to New Mexico families.

The Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act (BAAJA) would encourage new generation facilities, transmission lines, and reduce energy prices. Employ America estimated that this would produce up to 105,600 jobs in manufacturing, construction, and other industrial sectors.

We need more electricity, and we need it cheaper and faster. The Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act does that AND holds data centers accountable–meaning lower costs for you.
The title "3 Ways the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act Would Lower Your Energy Bills" is overlaid on a background of wind turbines. The three ways are, 1. Forcing data centers to pay their fair share. 2. It builds more transmission, faster. 3. It gets more energy onto the grid.

Almost 1 million comments have been submitted to protect the Roadless Rule from rollbacks. The fight doesn’t stop here. We’ll keep defending our roadless areas from Trump’s endless attacks.

President Trump would rather spend YOUR taxpayer dollars shuffling funding for his D.C. vanity projects than work to lower costs for working families. This move is selfish, illegal, and wrong.
