Rep. Gabe Vasquez, currently serving in the U.S. Congress for New Mexico's 2nd district, has been vocal on social media about his commitment to the residents of New Mexico and recent legislative achievements. Elected in 2023, Vasquez succeeded Yvette Herrell and has since emphasized his dedication to public service.

On February 12, 2025, Rep. Vasquez reaffirmed his focus on the people of New Mexico with a statement highlighting his priorities: "My #1 priority is New Mexico residents. I work for you, not for the world's richest man and not any billionaire."

Two days later, on February 13, he expressed his affection for the state through a cultural reference by saying "I love New Mexico more than a green chile cheeseburger—and that’s saying a lot." This reflects his personal connection and pride in representing New Mexico.

On February 15, Vasquez announced significant progress with new legislation benefiting public servants in the state. He stated: "Great news! My Social Security Fairness Act is now law, ensuring that public servants such as teachers and firefighters receive the full benefits they’ve earned. This means that tens of thousands of hardworking New Mexicans will see an average increase of $4,320 in their wallets." This legislative success marks a notable achievement for Vasquez in supporting local communities.
