Senator Wirth is Chair of the Senate Conser-
vation Committee as well as a membr of the
Drought Subcom-
mittee and an advisor
to the Water and Nat-
ural Resources Com-
mittee, among other

Senator Wirth states

important to New

water. The severe

lawsuit in the US Supreme Court filed by Texas against New Mexico, projections of zero water delivery from the Rio Grande to farmers south of Elephant Butte, climate change, endangered species. The list of challenges goes on and on...One thing is certain, as Chair of the Senate Conservation Committee, I plan to elevate the water discussion and proactively work with my colleagues to look for solutions."
