About Blue CD2.

New Mexico’s Second Congressional District
New Voters, New Voices, New Mexico.

Why are we focusing on Congressional
​District 2?

Picture
The House of Representatives seat from District 2 has vacillated between Democrat and Republican over the last few election cycles. In 2022, Gabe Vasquez was elected and Yvette Herrell, a MAGA Republican was defeated by a narrow margin.  

Our goal between now and the next election is to amplify the good Democratic legislation provides to the district on the federal and state levels. ​We want to keep Gabe in Congress and work at the local level to make ALL of CD 2 blue.

Who is Gabe Vasquez?

Picture
Gabe is a first-generation American and a conservationist who grew up in the borderlands.  As the first in his family to be born in the United States, he has served as a Las Cruces City Councilor, worked on Senator Heinreich's staff in Southern New Mexico, in public lands conservation, and as a policy advocate promoting child welfare and family wellbeing at the federal level.  
​
Growing up, Gabe lived on both sides of the border. He saw firsthand the important cross-border connections and relationships that support families and businesses in New Mexico. He knows that if we’re going to build a stronger economy in New Mexico’s 2nd district, we need people in Congress who will put partisan politics aside to deliver for New Mexican families.
