Vasquez Statement on H.R. 9495

WASHINGTON, D.C.  – On Monday, November 18, U.S. Representative Gabe Vasquez (NM-02) shared the following statement regarding H.R. 9495: 

“As we prepare for a turbulent 119th Congress, I am committed to representing my constituents and delivering for New Mexico. I have heard loud and clear from folks in my district and understand the concerns of my constituents, non-profit leaders and their staff. The incoming Administration’s recent cabinet nominations give me little faith that this tool would be used as originally intended. 

“Therefore, I have decided to vote against H.R. 9495 and will continue acting in our district's and nation's best interests.”
