No Angel Gabriel: Vasquez Votes Against Rural Hospital Funding

September 5, 2025

A new report calls out Democrat Gabe Vasquez for fearmongering. Instead of standing up for New Mexicans who depend on their local hospitals, Vasquez voted against $50 billion in new funding through the Rural Health Transformation Program, a lifeline meant to keep struggling rural hospitals open.

Here’s what Gabe Vasquez rejected:

  • $50 billion to keep rural hospitals open.
  • Support for doctors, nurses, and patients in small towns across America.
  • Relief for communities already facing Medicaid cuts and vanishing healthcare access.
     

“Out of touch Democrat Gabe Vasquez voted to shut the doors on rural hospitals and abandon the families who rely on them. He chose politics over patients, ideology over outcomes, and weakness over leadership and New Mexicans won’t forget it.” – NRCC Spokesman Reilly Richardson
