They also stressed their work is far from over. 'I believe in the heart of my heart that we will continue to chart a course forward with a bold vision for our people and to always keep our communities at the center of our work,' said Rep. Stansbury.
'Reflecting on my first term serving you in Congress, I'm proud to say that my service to my district and this state has had one singular focus – to improve the lives of New Mexicans,' said Rep. Vasquez.
The Republican Party of New Mexico sent this statement in response:
New Mexicans are tired of empty promises, they demand real action. When our representatives discuss crucial issues like the welfare of our oil and gas workers, support for our police, and the border and fentanyl crisis, their words must lead to tangible solutions. Sadly, the voting records of Rep. Stansbury and Rep. Vasquez expose a major discrepancy between their promises and their actions with their votes against bills like the Secure the Border Act and the Laken Riley Act. Furthermore, Vasquez voiced support for Paid Family Leave which could drain even more money from hardworking New Mexicans' paychecks while placing an undue burden on the small businesses that need our support the most. We urge the legislature to put New Mexicans first and work together to tackle the key issues: protecting small businesses, strengthening our economy, supporting law enforcement, backing our oil and gas industry, improving education, securing our borders, and holding criminals accountable.
Republican Party of New Mexico Chairwoman Amy Barela

Raises Nearly $200 Million For 2026 Midterms The Republican Party, under Trump's leadership, has been aggressively fundraising for the 2026 midterm elections. Trump's super PAC, MAGA Inc., raised $177 million in the first half of the year, leaving it with nearly $200 million in available funds. Besides Musk, the donor list featured billionaire Wall Street trader Jeffrey Yass with a $16 million contribution, cosmetics heir Ronald Lauder with $5 million, and Silicon Valley investor Marc Andreessen, who donated $3 million. Trump-Musk Rift Complicates SpaceX's Role In US Defense Musk's relationship with the Trump administration has been tumultuous since he left in late May. Musk's donations to the Republican Party and his subsequent change of heart are noteworthy in the context of the current political landscape. Musk has been publicly critical of Trump's policies, such as the axing of subsidies on renewable energy. This criticism has been accompanied by Musk's assertion that SpaceX won NASA contracts by delivering superior performance at lower costs. Meanwhile, the Trump administration's reported consideration of other partners, including Amazon's (NASDAQ:AMZN) Project Kuiper, for the Golden Dome missile defense system has raised questions about SpaceX's future role in national defense projects.
