Gabe is a first-generation American who grew up in the borderlands and saw his mother work hard every day to support his family. As the first in his family to be born in the United States, he’s made the most of his opportunity and has worked hard to make a positive difference in his community and in the lives of others.

A CHAMPION FOR NEW MEXICO

Gabe is fulfilling his promise to be a champion for working families and to build an economy that benefits everyone. Gabe believes that the work doesn’t stop until all New Mexicans have meaningful opportunities to raise happy, healthy families and pass on their traditions to future generations. Gabe has given his unwavering support for passing legislation that creates high-quality, good-paying jobs, helping New Mexico families deal with the rising cost of living, and conserving public lands and natural resources to capitalize on the district’s growing outdoor recreation economy.

Gabe serves on the House Agriculture Committee and the House Armed Services Committee. Additionally, he is the founder and Co-Chair of the Public Lands Caucus, and is also the co-founder of the Bipartisan Southwest Caucus and Vice Chair of the Wildlife Refuge Caucus. Since joining Congress, Gabe has introduced critical bipartisan legislation protecting public lands, increasing SNAP benefits, and empowering New Mexico's farmers.
