New Mexico counties ranked in top 10 for fentanyl death rates

Two New Mexico counties – Bernalillo and Rio Arriba – are ranked in the top 10 for fentanyl overdose deaths in the country. 

This heartbreaking news comes as Gabe Vasquez continues his senseless pushes for defunding the police and opening the border, both of which directly lead to the rise in fentanyl. 

“Gabe Vasquez has advocated for defunding the police and keeping the border open, leading to the rise in fentanyl deaths in the district. New Mexicans deserve someone who will make their communities safer, not easier for drugs to take over.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Delanie Bomar
