Leger Fernández Secures Key Provisions In For People Act From the Office of U.S. Rep. Leger Fernández: WASHINGTON, D.C. — Earlier in the week, U.S. Rep. Leger Fernández spoke on the House floor highlighting the value of New Mexico’s experience to H.R. 1, the For the People Act to reform and strengthen our democracy. “We brought New Mexico’s experience to this bill to improve voting access for Native Americans, respect tribal boundaries during redistricting, and reduce wait times at the polls. Our democracy is the very foundation in which we rest every American ideal. We love it and we must protect it for the people,” Leger Fernández said.
