Representative Gabe Vasquez with Dolores Huerta, April 10, 2023, Dolores Huerta Day, and her 93rd birthday.
Gabe said, "Today we appreciate and celebrate the amazing Dolores Huerta. Her unwavering fight for farmworker rights inspires me to continue to advocate for our farmworkers to be paid a livable wage and to have safe working conditions."
Gabe said, "When we invest in New Mexico, we must invest in the whole state – from our largest cities to our rural towns. Communities like Deming need reliable roads, safe drinking water, and affordable energy to grow. That’s why I’m proud to work with Secretary Pete Buttigieg to bring #NM02 its fair share."
