Gabe Vasquez Wants to End Oil & Gas

June 25, 2026

A recently resurfaced video is exposing defund the police Gabe Vasquez’s true plans for New Mexico: end the oil and gas industry, kill thousands of jobs, and gut the state budget.

Despite the fact that the oil and gas industry contributes $7.5 billion to New Mexico’s general fund, Vasquez wants to “[limit] the use of natural gas and other fossil fuels and carbon-based fuels and [replace] them with electric.”

“Defund the police Gabe Vasquez has made his priorities clear: kill good-paying jobs, gut the state’s general fund, and force Americans to buy expensive electric vehicles. Vasquez is entirely out of touch with New Mexico.” – NRCC Spokesman Reilly Richardson
