Harris, Heinrich, and Vasquez's Policies Will Hurt Working Families

ALBUQUERQUE - We are just two weeks away from the general election, and there is a lot at stake for New Mexico families. The policies proposed and enacted by Democrat candidates Kamala Harris, Martin Heinrich, and Gabe Vasquez concerning taxation, healthcare, and immigration are disastrous for the working families in our state. Their radical, far-left policies have led to larger financial burdens, such as increased taxes and prices due to inflation, less prosperity within our communities, as evidenced by job losses and economic downturns, and more dangerous neighborhoods, with crime rates on the rise.

“Harris, Heinrich, and Vasquez are advocating for tax plans that would raise taxes on seniors’ retirement funds and add even higher costs for working families,” said Republican Party of New Mexico Chairman Steve Pearce. “Their push for ‘Medicare for All’ would eliminate private insurance for millions of New Mexicans and force everyone into a one-size-fits-all government plan.”

Heinrich and Vasquez have thrown their support behind the disastrous border policies of the Biden-Harris administration, policies that are eroding our border security. Their stance on mass amnesty for millions of unvetted illegal immigrants and their opposition to stricter border measures are putting New Mexico at a heightened risk of increased crime and insecurity.

“Do you want to know why you are paying so much for groceries? You can thank Harris, Heinrich, and Vasquez for their votes that directly contributed to skyrocketing inflation,” said Pearce. “Harris, Heinrich, and Vasquez actively fought against protecting American energy independence while opening our southern border, leaving our communities vulnerable. They cannot be trusted to prioritize New Mexican families when they have dedicated their careers to serving the whims of Washington’s progressive elites first. The good news is there is still time to change the course of New Mexico by electing Republicans up and down the ballot in what are shaping up to be very competitive races this year.”
