Rep. Gabe Vasquez

My proposal is simple: don’t let the DOD build expensive new barriers until they can prove they’re effective. I’ve lived on the border all my life — I know some areas don’t need a wall to be secure.

The violence in Gaza has got to stop, and the administration can do something about it.

Republicans say their tax bill supports working families—but when you look closer, you’ll see that it just makes life more expensive, gutting funding for health care, food assistance, and the programs our communities rely on. If you work hard, you should be able to afford a home,…

Last week, I introduced the Stop COYOTES Act and the No More Narcos Act to stop human smugglers, fentanyl traffickers, and cartels in our border communities. I’m proud to share that the Las Cruces and Sunland Park Police Departments agree these bills are a step in the right…

🚨 Update: After I pushed the Administration to unfreeze $6.9B in Dept. of Ed funds, some will be released Monday—supporting vital after-school & summer programs. These programs help kids in high-poverty, underperforming schools catch up in reading & math. Now, @WHOMB and…

Public safety is one of my top priorities as your representative in Southern New Mexico. I am proud to introduce two bipartisan bills that address the continued threat of cartels and coyotes in our border communities, while promoting transparency among our border enforcement…

Today, we remember the Trinity Test and the New Mexicans whose lives were forever changed by the first nuclear explosion. @SenatorHeinrich, @RepTeresaLF, @Rep_Stansbury, @RepGabeVasquez, and I are united in the fight for justice, and we won’t stop until impacted New Mexicans…

Looking for real-world experience in public service? Internship applications are now open for my Washington, D.C. and district offices! Applications for the Washington, D.C. office are open until August 8th. District office applications are reviewed on a rolling basis. Learn more…

Last weekend Florida lawmakers got a chance to visit Alligator Alcatraz, and the reports that came from that visit were shocking. We can’t stand for this as a country — this is not who we are.

Farmers, ranchers, food banks, and wildfire crews in my district depend on a functioning USDA — not just for support, but for their survival. Last month, I secured a commitment from @SecRollins to visit Southern New Mexico and see firsthand the everyday impacts of USDA funding…

Slow moving thunderstorms have developed over the burn scars near Ruidoso. A Flash Flood Warning has been issued. Move to higher ground immediately! #nmwx

Some of our best ideas in New Mexico come from places like local steel plants in Belen, not from corporate boardrooms. These family-run businesses create jobs and build up our communities, but tariffs and rising costs are hitting them hard. I’m fighting to level the playing field…

I just left the Doña Ana County Sheriff's Office and send my deepest condolences to the family of Patrol Deputy Antonio Aleman and our entire community. His life was tragically cut short at just 33, and his wife and two children face an unimaginable loss—please keep them in your…

Forgot to put a change of clothes in my backpack, so stuck in my suit for circle time. These kids drive a hard bargain on snack time policy. Our kids are our future!

More rain is likely in Ruidoso in the coming days, and the NM delegation is working to bring federal disaster relief funds to the community. Thanks to local and state officials, cleanup efforts are underway as we tackle this recovery effort together.

I'm here in Ruidoso today, as rapid response and recovery efforts remain underway after Tuesday's flood. We're going to continue to do our work in Congress on behalf of this beautiful state and beautiful community that we represent.

When I say I’m working for you, I mean it. Over the past six months alone, my office has gone to bat with the federal government to put over $4 million back in New Mexican’s pockets — and we’re just getting started. If you're facing challenges with a federal agency, my office is…

What we are seeing in Ruidoso speaks for itself. This is a major disaster. Lives, businesses, and homes have been upended. @POTUS your administration must send federal support immediately.
