How Out-of-Touch is Gabe Vasquez?
In case you forgot, extreme Democrat Gabe Vasquez voted to shut down the government—choosing politics over New Mexicans! He turned his back on the very people he claims to fight for, putting partisan games ahead of their livelihood.
- New Mexicans’ safety may be threatened as law enforcement officers, members of the military, and TSA workers might not get paid.
- There are 158,994 veterans in the state that will lose out on critical programs – including employment assistance programs.
- The 18,731 federal workers in Vasquez’s district may have to work WITHOUT getting paid.
- NM-02’s 11,228 farmers may not have access to financial assistance – including disaster relief.
- Millions in loan financing for New Mexico’s 166,301 small businesses will be jeopardized.
- Funding for the Head Start program – which 4,439 children in New Mexico rely on – may be cut off.
This week the NRCC launched digital ads targeting Gabe Vasquez for voting to shut down the government:

“Out-of-touch Gabe Vasquez proved he doesn’t care about his constituents—voting to shut down the government. New Mexicans deserve a leader who fights for them, not a self-serving politician more focused on stunts than solutions.” – NRCC Spokesman Zach Bannon
