The record
United States Representative for New Mexico's Second Congressional District — the district containing the campus. On August 25, 2026 he cosponsored two federal data-center bills, H.R. 9655 and H.R. 9825. His statement: "New Mexico's water, air and resources belong to us, not to billionaires from coastal states who see an opportunity to extract profit from our land.
I've been appalled at the backroom deals, silencing of dissenting voices, shady NDAs and shell companies, and the overall lack of transparency." Worth noting precisely: the only direct reference to Project Jupiter in that announcement was his July condemnation of a security guard's use of force at a county meeting.
