Rep. Gabe Vasquez, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing New Mexico's 2nd district, has recently expressed his positions on legislation impacting rural communities, military academy governance, and voting rights. With a focus on his constituents' needs, Vasquez has showcased his legislative priorities through a series of posts on social media.
On March 30, 2025, Vasquez announced, "I’m an original co-sponsor of the bipartisan Hot Foods Act, because in rural communities and food deserts, hot foods are often all that’s available and it makes it easier to feed a hungry child." This statement underscores his commitment to addressing food accessibility in underserved areas.
The following day, March 31, 2025, he shared his excitement about a new appointment, stating, "I am honored to be named to the U.S. Air Force Academy Board of Visitors. Our military academies shape the future of our armed forces, and I’m committed to ensuring they provide the best opportunities for our service members." This reflects his dedication to the military and ensuring service members receive substantial opportunities.
On April 1, 2025, Vasquez took a stand against a proposed piece of legislation, saying, "I’m voting against the SAVE Act because it would disenfranchise Native voters, active-duty service members, and married women. This bill is dangerous, unnecessary, and un-American." His opposition highlights his focus on protecting voting rights for marginalized groups.
