U.S. Rep. Teresa Leger Fernández discusses Trump’s first weeks in power and the Democrats' efforts to push back

U.S. Rep. Teresa Leger Fernández has been busy since President Donald Trump took office last month, working with the other members of New Mexico's Congressional delegation to push back against Trump's agenda. The two-term congresswoman from Las Vegas, N.M., who serves as chair of the Democratic Women's Caucus has been making the media rounds to speak out against the Trump administration’s policies and orders regarding immigration, cuts to the federal workforce, federal spending cuts and more. Leger Fernández joins "Conversations Different" to discuss the impacts the Trump administration's executive orders and policies are having on New Mexicans, including in the 3rd Congressional District that she represents. She also talks about what she and her fellow Democrats in Congress can do as the minority party in both chambers as a potential government shutdown looms in March. Speaking on the Democrats' strategy to regain support among voters, Leger Fernández said the party needs to turn to telling the stories of how the policies of Trump and the Republicans are adversely impacting people across the country.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
