John,
In case you missed it, Gabe is introducing his FIRST bill in Congress this week, and it’s aimed at holding the right-wing extremists accountable for holding Congress hostage and wasting taxpayer dollars with their chaotic five-day House Speaker vote last week — the longest speaker vote our country has seen in 164 years.
Rep. Vasquez to introduce McCARTHY Act after House speaker showdown — KOB4
According to Gabe, the McCARTHY Act “is simple, and simply it’s that Congress won’t get paid until the speaker is elected in the future. If you don’t work, you don’t get paid.”
While Republicans were in disarray over choosing a Speaker last week, the work of Congress was completely stalled, meaning Gabe and other members couldn’t be sworn in, address constituent needs in the district or start working on the issues that matter to the people.
Gabe’s first order of business is to prevent a fiasco like this from ever happening again. Will you add your name as a citizen cosponsor to urge legislators on both sides of the aisle to pass the McCARTHY Act today?
Thanks for supporting Gabe and his work for the people of NM-02,
Team Vasquez
