Gabe Vasquez, U.S. Congressman representing New Mexico’s 2nd district, announced his intention to run for re-election through a series of posts on October 17, 2025. In the tweets, Vasquez emphasized his commitment to serving all constituents and addressed issues such as economic opportunity and immigration reform.
On October 17, 2025, Vasquez stated: "I’m running for re-election to represent everyone in our district, regardless of their political views– we must create opportunity for everyone." In another tweet posted the same day, he explained his motivation for seeking office: "I ran for this seat because I’m like most New Mexicans: someone that wants to see an economy & government that rewards hard work."
Later that day, Vasquez commented on national immigration policy: "Americans want to see a modernized immigration system with purpose and humanity - one that makes our economy stronger and keeps families together. This administration has it all wrong- enough with the lawlessness on our streets."
Vasquez has represented New Mexico’s 2nd congressional district since defeating Yvette Herrell in the 2024 general election by a margin of 52.1% to 47.9%. He succeeded Herrell in Congress in 2023 after her previous term.
