January 16, 2026 Albuquerque, NM - Chairwoman Barela responds to KOAT on Rep. Gabe Vasquez's criticism of Trump's tariffs: "No amount of gaslighting from Gabe Vasquez will change the fact that President Trump's tariffs protect New Mexico farmers from being ripped off by other countries. Under Democratic oversight, small businesses in the United States, as well as our farmers, have been taken advantage of for far too long - from other countries and excessive overregulation in our own country. It's interesting how we never hear Democrats mention that. Voters in NM-2 should take note that Gabe Vasquez's only policy agenda is to fall in line with the far-left radicals in the Democratic Party." - Chairwoman Barela ### |
