Rep. Gabe Vasquez Announces the Birth of His Son

November 1, 2026 Press Release WASHINGTON, D.C. – On November 1, 2026, U.S. Representative Gabe Vasquez (NM-02) and his fiancée, Nikki, announced they welcomed their first son to the world. “Nikki and I are overjoyed to share that our son has arrived, and both Nikki and the baby are happy and healthy,” said Vasquez. “In these precious first few weeks, I will be supporting my family as we begin this new chapter together, and I look forward to bringing my perspective as a new dad to my work on behalf of all New Mexico families.” As Vasquez spends time supporting his family and fulfilling his duties as a new dad, in the coming weeks, he will dedicate the majority of his time to his newborn. Vasquez will return to vote on the House floor as soon as possible, and his offices in Washington, Las Cruces, and Albuquerque will remain open and fully staffed to serve constituents across the district. “Thank you to all of the New Mexicans and my colleagues in Congress who have shared their well wishes and kind words with Nikki and me. It means the world to our family and brings a renewed sense of public service to create a better future for all of our kids,” Vasquez added. Vasquez supports policies to guarantee paid parental leave to all Americans and has introduced the Careworker Visa Act , a bill to bring down the cost of childcare for hardworking American families by creating commonsense legal pathways for immigrant careworkers. ###
