Far-left Rep. Gabe Vasquez (D-NM-02) is trying to keep his seat in Congress, despite fierce competition from GOP former Rep. Yvette Herrell, who he narrowly beat in 2022.
Partnered up with extremist groups, he hopes to raise enough money to fend off the challenge from the GOP’s standard bearer.
In the last fundraising quarter spanning April through June, Vasquez raised $439,254.61 and spent $165,024.07.
He received large contributions from the pro-abortion lobby, with groups such as NARAL, the abortion up-to-birth group, pitching in $2,500.
The pro-abortion medical group, the American College of OB-GYNs PAC (OB-GYN PAC), donated $1,000, while relative to the University of New Mexico’s abortion trainer, Dr. Eve L. Espey, wrote big checks. Dr. David K. Espey donated $1,000 on April 26, 2023.
Other contributions included $5,000 from the pro-lockdown, pro-forced mask American Federation of Teachers, AFL-CIO Committee on Political Education, $2,500 from the group pushing transgenderism on kids, the Human Rights Campaign, $2,832.34 from the extremist “climate groups the League of Conservation Voters Action Fund and the NRDC Action Fund Inc. PAC with a $960.47 donation, as well as $500 from the socialist-linked group Retake Our Democracy.
He also got help from far-left colleagues’ campaign accounts, with Rep. Pete Aguilar (D-CA) chipping in$2,000, Rep. Joe Neguse (D-CO) donating $1,000, Rep. Don Beyer (D-VA) offering $1,000, Rep. Linda Sánchez (D-CA) giving $1,000, Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA) putting $1,000, and Rep. Ami Bera (D-CA) throwing in $500.
The New Mexico House Victory Fund 2022, which was a joint committee helping New Mexico’s three far-left Democrat U.S. representatives, gave $19,964.79 to Vasquez’s reelection efforts during the fundraising period.
Vasquez spent $43,632.61 at a company called Foglamp, which is a Democrat digital strategy firm that has been used by the likes of Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser and the anti-gun group March for Our Lives.
He also spent handsomely on fundraising services from a Virginia-based group, LaFave and Associates. Another large expense for Vasquez’s campaign was catering, meals, and travel, which totaled $22,032.89 during the three-month period.
Expenses included multiple trips to the Monocle restaurant adjacent to the U.S. Senate office building, with bills totaling p $1,002.5 and $827.80.
Former Congresswoman Herrell raised $355,911.46 during the same timeframe, spending $70,186.92.
State campaign funds need to come from within the state populace, not PACs, No Outside organizations, etc. These people are supposed to represent us the New Mexico Citizenry.
They don’t, heck we have a senator that does not even live in the state. We are the new California, the nut jobs from the far west know California suck so they moved here with the same crap that screwed California up.
Unbelievable!!!! This is New Mexico, seriously!!
What a whore Vasquez is!
Yes he is, and he does not represent his constituents!
Vasquez is bought and paid for.
How much $$$$$$$$$$$ does Vasquez need?
Not in this small town! (Deming)
Vasquez is an evil entity, just like all the rest of the Demon-0-rats here in New Mexico are. They care nothing for the people of this state. Only their power that they have lied to get. they must all go.
Amen!
So his supporters all hate America, Americans, and the American way of life. I say we need to deport the entire democrat party. It’s either them or us, no other way.
So, you know how Vasquez will vote on abortion.
