About
Source: Campaign page
Growing up, Gabe lived on both sides of the border and spent much of his time in his Grandfather’s TV repair shop in the Chaveña Neighborhood of Ciudad Juarez. 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.
For more than 10 years, Gabe has dedicated himself to public service.
In 2013, after helping build one of Las Cruces’ most successful startup companies, he joined Senator Heinrich’s staff and worked across southern New Mexico to solve problems for New Mexico businesses, communities, and families. He was also instrumental in the designation of the Organ Mountains Desert Peaks National Monument, protecting it from harmful development and safeguarding it for future generations. In 2017, he was elected to the Las Cruces City Council with over 70 percent of the vote. In this role, Gabe delivered millions of dollars in investment to create and improve parks, updated the district’s infrastructure, promoted policy that created thousands of jobs, and helped craft a comprehensive development plan that focused on lifting families out of poverty. In prior years, Gabe has served as the executive director of the Las Cruces Hispano Chamber of Commerce, worked in public lands conservation, and as a policy advocate promoting child welfare and family wellbeing at the federal level.
But throughout his life, Gabe has also seen that the American Dream his family fought so hard for is slipping away from the grasp of most New Mexicans. An ever rising cost-of-living, lack of economic opportunities for southern New Mexico, a tax code that benefits CEOs and millionaires and punishes working families, lack of investment in rural and Native American communities, and politicians who put themselves and their Wall Street donors ahead of the communities they are supposed to represent are robbing families of their potential.
But in this work, he’s also seen that the American dream his family fought so hard for is slipping away.
Gabe is running for Congress to be a champion for working families and to build an economy that benefits everyone. Gabe will do this by creating high-quality, good-paying jobs, helping New Mexico families deal with the rising cost of living, ensuring all New Mexicans have access to affordable and high-quality health care, combating climate change, and conserving public lands and natural resources to capitalize on the district’s growing outdoor recreation economy. Gabe believes that the work doesn’t stop until all New Mexicans have meaningful opportunities to raise happy, healthy families and pass on their traditions to future generations. Gabe is committed to fighting for you in Congress.

Agriculture
Before joining Congress, Vasquez spent time working in Deming at a chile factory and understands first-hand that New Mexico is a vital part of America’s agricultural sector. Our farmers, ranchers and farmworkers from the South Valley to the Hatch Valley work the land every day to ensure all Americans have access to safe, affordable, American-grown food. As a member of the House Agriculture Committee, Vasquez is working alongside them to support New Mexico’s agriculture economy in the Farm Bill. Vasquez is also committed to protecting and expanding SNAP benefits, a lifeline for so many New Mexicans.
Armed Services & National Security
Our military service members and their families play a crucial role in our national security. As a member of the House Armed Services Committee, Vasquez is working to bring home results and investments for our service members, military families, and the communities that depend on well-funded military installations and research facilities. New Mexico is a critical component of our national security, and Vasquez is proud to represent our state and national interests.
Education & Family Support
nvesting in students means investing in our future. Rep. Vasquez believes that education boosts New Mexico’s competitiveness by equipping the next generation with essential skills to strengthen our workforce. That’s why prioritizing early childhood education, family support, and post-graduation opportunities ensures a solid foundation for the future.
Here are some ways Vasquez has been working to make this a reality:
Supporting Working Families
- Introduced his Lowering Costs Plan, which includes several bills to help cut costs from the grocery store to the gas station.
- Voted to expand the Child Tax Credit, benefiting more than 59K children in the district, and continues to work on expanding the credit to its full potential through the American Families Act.
- Voted to slash prescription costs and ensure price transparency by passing the bipartisan Lower Costs, More Transparency Act.
- Fighting to preserve theAffordable Connectivity Program to make high-speed internet more accessible for low-income families and students.
Student Education & Well-Being
- Introduced the Parity for Tribal Educators Act to give every child in New Mexico a fair shot at success by keeping Tribal schools staffed with quality educators.
- Advocated for mental health services in schools through the Mental Health Services for Students Act, ensuring students’ well-being.
- Enhanced school safety measures and promoted bullying prevention efforts with the Safe Schools Improvement Act.
- Championed cleaner school buses with the Community Facilities Program for Rural Clean School Bus Infrastructure Act, providing safer transportation for rural students.
- Secured $16M Head Start grant and increased funding to support early childhood education.
Environment & Conservation
Vasquez, a lifelong hunter and outdoorsman, is deeply committed to safeguarding New Mexico’s public lands. He is championing smart climate solutions to ensure future generations have access to clean water, air and lands.
Here are some ways he has worked to protect New Mexico’s natural beauty:

Immigration & Border Solutions
Rep. Vasquez is a first-generation Mexican-American who has lived on both sides of the border. Vasquez is committed to creating bipartisan opportunities to fix our broken immigration system during one of the most trying political environments in our nation’s history. He is a proud co-sponsor of the American Dream and Promise Act to establish a pathway to citizenship for DREAMers. Vasquez also introduced a package of common-sense bills that addresses different parts of our immigration system and the challenges we face at the border. This legislative package is informed by the people of New Mexico, for the people of New Mexico.
His package of immigration and border solutions includes:
- STRENGTHENING OUR WORKFORCE ACT: Our farm workers, energy workers, teachers, health care workers, and others— are the economic engine of our society. This bill provides immigrants who work in critical jobs a pathway to lawful permanent residency.
- HUMANE ACCOUNTABILITY ACT: We must address the abuse and neglect that occurs within federally sanctioned detention centers. This bill provides oversight, accountability and data to ensure families and children, who are legally seeking asylum, are treated with dignity, humanity and respect.
- STOP COYOTES ACT: Coyotes and cartels are taking advantage of women and children on their journey to the US. This bill would impose higher penalties for those who are convicted of human trafficking and those who engage minors in their illicit activities.
- SMART BORDER PROTECTION ACT: The majority of illegal drugs that come into this country, particularly fentanyl, are confiscated at our ports of entry. Smart, non-intrusive inspection technology, such as the new MEP at Santa Teresa, is a game-changer. This technology detects drugs and speeds up wait times for commercial traffic and non-commercial vehicular traffic. This bill will tackle the nation’s fentanyl crisis by implementing this technology and increasing staff to effectively operate it.
- FARM WORKFORCE SUPPORT ACT: The shortage of agricultural farm workers is also a deep concern for New Mexico. In places like Deming, Arrey, and Lemitar, Vasquez has heard directly from producers about the shortage of workers. He believes we can meet the demands of feeding our nation with sound immigration policy that also protects farm workers and their families. This bill paves the way to reform the existing agricultural workforce program.
Rep. Vasquez has been calling on Congress to address our broken immigration system and provide emergency federal funding to support border communities. In addition, Vasquez has been leading the effort to secure funding to stop fentanyl smuggling by installing new technology at our ports of entry.
Keeping Energy Costs Down
Rep. Vasquez stands by the energy workers who fuel America’s energy economy. He believes in an all-of-the-above approach with oil and gas and clean energy to diversify our economy and bring more jobs to New Mexico. More investments in American energy will decrease prices for families like yours and protect our economy with reliable energy sources.
Learn more about Vasquez’s work to:
- Prioritizing Energy Workers: New Mexico’s fossil fuel industry makes up about half of the state’s revenue and is largely located within Vasquez’s district. That’s why he introduced theEnergy Workers Health Improvement and Compensation Fund Act. The fund aims to better compensate oil field workers and their immediate relatives who experience health impacts related to their jobs, and ensure that those who are powering our economy have the health care they deserve.
- Supporting Domestic Energy: Vasquez introduced language on the House floor to prioritize domestic energy, and keep costs down by ensuring energy produced in America is used by Americans first.
- Lowering Utility Bills: He also championed affordable energy solutions for struggling New Mexicans by demanding transparency and long-term solutions from Symmetry Energy Solutions— making sure utility bills remain manageable.
- Clean Energy Jobs: Vasquez has championed major investments into New Mexico including companies like Maxeon which will bring thousands of jobs to the Albuquerque area to manufacture solar panels, and Arcosa which is bringing 250 new jobs to Belen to manufacture wind towers. He has also secured more than $63M in funding for projects such as electric truck charging stations as well as carbon capture and storage technology which will diversify energy sources, but also create jobs and make energy more affordable for families.
- Renewable Energy Transition: Rep. Vasquez strongly supports transmission projects like the Sun Zia and Southline Transmission Projects that will help bring clean energy to people’s homes.

Lower Costs, More Jobs
As New Mexicans continue to feel the pressure of inflation, Vasquez is hearing from families about the challenges they face. That’s why he unveiled his Lower Costs Plan, a commitment to easing the burden of inflation, creating good-paying jobs and ensuring that working families’ hard-earned dollars stay where they belong – in their own homes. The plan is made up of multiple bills that Vasquez has introduced and will continue to push to address the economic challenges of working families.
There are over 150,000 small businesses in our state, and they account for 99% of all businesses in New Mexico. Our national economy–and our local economies–are built on the backs of small businesses. In his Lower Costs Plan, Vasquez is committed to bringing more jobs to the area and uplifting small businesses. Check out the full plan here.

Making Health Care Affordable & Accessible
