IMMEDIATE RELEASE
April 14, 2026

Chairwoman Barela releases statement on President Trump endorsing Greg Cunningham for New Mexico's 2nd Congressional District:

Albuquerque, NM - Today, President Trump issued an official endorsement of Greg Cunningham for New Mexico's 2nd Congressional District. A former Marine and detective with the Albuquerque Police Department, Cunningham will run unopposed in the June 2nd Primary Election and will face Rep. Gabe Vasquez in the General Election. Please see Chairwoman Amy Barela's statement below:

"We are going to flip NM-2 red in November," said Chairwoman Barela. "We have an outstanding candidate in Greg Cunningham, we have the momentum, and President Trump's endorsement will give us the edge we need to be victorious in November. Gabe Vasquez has proven time and time again that he will put the interests of the radical left above the interest of New Mexico, and he cannot be trusted with another term. Greg Cunningham is a fighter who will represent the values of New Mexico's 2nd congressional district in Congress. He has spent his entire career defending our freedom, fighting crime, and serving others - he is exactly what our state needs."
