Congressman Gabe Vasquez’s official website.  And his campaign website. 

Many Reasons to Re-elect Rep. Gabe Vasquez to Congress

$900,000 for a new fire protection vehicle for the Pueblo of Isleta

​$1.4 million to renovate the Boys and Girls Club In Las Cruces

• Anthony Water and Sanitation District, to improve the sewer system

2. ​Rep. Gabe Vasquez votes to protect our rights and freedoms

• Social Security
• Affordable Care Act
• Lower costs

3. ​He's a common sense lawmaker

5 bills to create a common sense border policy

4. ​Rep. Vasquez puts people over politics

5. ​Great groups and people have endorsed Rep. Vasquez

In its October 2022 endorsement of Gabe Vasquez over Yvette Herrell, the Albuquerque Journal editorial board credited Vasquez for consistently funding police as a member of the Las Cruces City Council and having both the plan and the experience to bring ‘economic empowerment’ to the 2nd district.
 
In contrast, the Albuquerque Journal did not mince words over the 2nd’s current incumbent: MAGA Republican Yvette Herrell. Herrell, who in her first major vote in Congress opposed certifying the results of the 2020 election, has abandoned her district time and time again for the most extreme elements of her party.
As the Journal notes, instead of being the problem solver New Mexicans deserve, Herrell routinely opposes bipartisan reforms and investments to boost New Mexico’s economy. This year, Herrell voted against both the Inflation Reduction Act and the CHIPS and Science Act, which would lower costs and create jobs locally. After a local tragedy, she could not even bring herself to support funding to compensate victims of New Mexico’s largest wildfire. See more here.
