## Resource

Pete Buttigieg hit Las Cruces to rally New Mexico Democrats, stressing that Southern New Mexico’s vote carries national weight—especially for keeping Congress in Democratic hands and supporting leaders like Deb Haaland. Haaland, running for governor, is connecting with rural voters who feel ignored, while Rep. Gabe Vasquez, facing Greg Cunningham, spotlighted affordability crises: soaring fuel prices, struggling farmers, beef import impacts, and crumbling rural healthcare. Vasquez also warned against unchecked data center growth, calling for state safeguards and public input to protect New Mexico’s most vital resource—water—emphasizing that development must never come at the cost of its future.
