Gabe Vasquez Sworn In To Represent New Mexico a Second Term in Congress

U.S. Rep. Gabe Vasquez (N.M.-02) was sworn in Friday, Jan. 3, 2025, for his second term in the U.S. House of Representatives, pledging to keep his focus on serving the people of New Mexico and putting their needs first.

“I’m here to bring New Mexico values and traditions to Washington and work across the aisle with my colleagues to actually get things done, for New Mexico and for the American people,” Vasquez said. “Whether working to lower costs, create good-paying jobs or secure resources for our rural and urban communities, I’m ready to fight for real solutions that make a difference in people’s lives.”

In his second term, Vasquez vows to continue prioritizing bipartisanship to deliver for New Mexico.

As a member of the House Agriculture Committee, one of his top priorities is passing a Farm Bill that supports America’s farmers and families. Vasquez understands that farms are small businesses, and when they cannot plan for the future, they cannot succeed. It is critical to provide New Mexico’s ranchers and producers with the stability and resources they need to continue feeding our communities and driving the state and national economy forward.

Additionally, on the House Armed Services Committee, Vasquez will work to draft next year’s National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) to ensure it supports service members and their families, while strengthening national security to bolster the safety and well-being of all Americans.

Vasquez takes on his second term “with renewed determination to deliver for his constituents. He will continue to focus on delivering common-sense, bipartisan solutions for New Mexico”.
