From the Office of U.S. Sen. Martin Heinrich:

WASHINGTON, D.C. — U.S. Sen. Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.) Monday announced that for the health and safety of both staff and visitors and to help prevent the spread of the COVID-19, his New Mexico-based offices will operate on a remote-basis effective today, March 24.

This is in coordination with Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham’s stay-at-home order for the state of New Mexico.

Heinrich will continue to keep New Mexicans informed of any changes to the operations of his offices and encourages residents to contact him for assistance.

Heinrich also is encouraging New Mexico residents to visit his online resource center for COVID-19 at www.Heinrich.Senate.Gov/Coronavirus.

“The health of all New Mexico communities continues to be my top priority. We are working around the clock with federal, state, tribal and local agencies to ensure that our state has the resources it needs to protect public health and keep families safe,” Heinrich said. “This is a worrisome time for our entire nation. I encourage all New Mexicans to utilize the services, resources, and information my office provides, and to contact me if you need assistance with a federal agency, including accessing Veterans benefits, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid or federal grant funding.”
