See how New Mexico’s U.S. reps. voted on the Biden-McCarthy budget deal

U.S. Rep. Gabe Vasquez (D-CD-02)

Vasquez’s office wrote in a press release, “While Vasquez voted for the bill, he does not agree with the entire bill, including provisions that were added to limit renewable energy development and erode the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process.”

“My district is one with the most renewable energy development potential. The final bill added a three-year study to evaluate the impacts of transmission generation, which is simply a delay to limit renewable energy development and prop up the fossil fuel industry,” added Vasquez. “This bill picks energy development winners and losers, and that’s at the expense of taking strong climate action, potential jobs and economic development that we should prioritize. I want to work with my colleagues on true permitting reform because it should be decided by Congress, not in backdoor negotiations about the debt ceiling.”

  1. Too bad he didn’t read it with an open mind instead to see what a mess it is. Yes, part of the problem. I’m gonna resist saying anything else…

  2. Stansbury doesn’t believe in a “debt ceiling” so she must be one of those socialists who also believe that as long as the treasury can print money it has the same value. Does she run her household budget the same way? Or she only spends crazy because it’s other people’s money?

  3. William Johnson

    Parts of this state must be overloaded with useful idiots and useless eaters that keep electing imbeciles.

  4. Seems to me like New Mexico pretty much depends more on the oil industry than anything else, although far fanitical leftist Dems are in total denial.
