Congressman Gabe Vasquez voted to pass the annual National Defense Authorization Act. This bipartisan bill reaffirms Democrats’ commitment to defending our nation and supporting the men and women who put their lives on the line for our security.
Thanks to Vasquez, a host of extreme, far-right policies were removed from the bill. Instead, this year’s legislation:
-
Raises service member pay by 5.2%, the largest bump in 20 years.
-
Invests in child care, housing, and health care.
-
Bolsters education and child development for military families.
-
Improves readiness and spurs modernization efforts.
-
Invests in our allies and our relationships abroad.
Gabe Vasquez delivered for the over 12,000 active duty service members living in New Mexico, and will continue to work tirelessly to invest in the middle class and defeat extremism across the country.
DCCC Spokesperson Lauryn Fanguen:
“Gabe Vasquez remains steadfast in his commitment to supporting families, growing the middle class, and ensuring service members have access to quality health care — including reproductive health care. This vote is the perfect example of what happens when lawmakers put people over politics and govern responsibly without giving in to MAGA demands.”
