Gabe Vasquez Doesn’t Care about New Mexicans

It has officially been one week of the government shutdown and New Mexicans are feeling the pressure.

Each week, 2.1 million New Mexicans are losing $76 million in Gross State Product, about $12 million worth of small business loans are getting held up, and over 30,000 workers are furloughed or working without pay. This must end but Gabe Vasquez does not care. He voted for this shutdown rather than continuing to fund the government and now he’s placing blame everywhere but on himself.

“Gabe Vasquez is shameful. He voted to shut down the government and, in turn, is hurting New Mexicans. It is high time he stops playing political games with people’s livelihoods and works to put New Mexicans first.” – NRCC Spokesman Reilly Richardson
