“It is a privilege to serve the United States and call this country my home, while recognizing that our future is inextricably tied to that of the rest of the world,” Udall said. “Our everyday lives in New Mexico and the nation—from our climate, to our health, to finding good-paying jobs, to seeing our children across the dinner table instead of fighting in a foreign war—depend on peace, security, and cooperation around the world. In New Mexico, we value our close relationship and shared heritage with Mexico and are proud that our border is a point of commerce, tourism, and a crossroads for friends and family. That’s why I have worked throughout my entire career to prioritize diplomacy over endless wars, smart trade policies for our workers, and protect human rights through diplomatic engagement and foreign aid as a foreign policy priority. I believe that Congress has a duty to our brave troops and our constitution to take the tough votes on wars instead of relying on decades-old military force authorizations that have been stretched beyond their limit. And I know that our future depends on our ability to lead the global community to protect our shared environment and leave a livable and productive planet for our children.”
