Legislative Roundup: 10 Days Remain In 2021 Session SFNM Prayer for senator: Members of the state Senate offered a prayer for Sen. Bill Sharer and his family at the onset of Tuesday morning’s floor session. But no other details were provided. Sharer, a Republican from Farmington, has been physically absent from the Roundhouse for two consecutive days. Sen. Craig Brandt, a Rio Rancho Republican and retired pastor who led the chamber in prayer, said, “Lord, we just pray for Sen. Sharer and his family.” As a result of Sharer’s absences, two bills that have been subject to a legislative maneuver known as a call of the Senate, which requires every member to be physically present at the Capitol, remain in limbo.
