Greg Cunningham and Gabe Vasquez prepare for New Mexico congressional debate

Republican congressional candidate Greg Cunningham and incumbent Democratic Congressman Gabe Vasquez are set to debate for New Mexico's second congressional district.

During a campaign stop in Las Cruces, Cunningham was joined by U.S. House Majority Leader Steve Scalise. Cunningham outlined a platform focused on addressing crime through increased sentencing guidelines for fentanyl and placing more police officers in schools. He expressed a desire to elevate the local race to a national level.

Opponents have criticized Cunningham's record, specifically regarding his stances on healthcare, food assistance, and immigration. Critics have also pointed to his campaign advertisements featuring a convicted drug trafficker and his views on Medicaid cuts and tariffs.
