Vasquez Wins Third Term in New Mexico's 2nd District, 59% to 41%

Wednesday, November 4, 2026 · States · GSM News

Unofficial returns released on November 4, 2026 showed incumbent Democratic Rep. Gabe Vasquez of New Mexico's 2nd Congressional District defeating Republican challenger Greg Cunningham by about 59 to 41 percent to win a third term. With all 663 precincts reporting, Vasquez received 123,113 votes to Cunningham's 86,650, a margin of 36,463. The Associated Press called the race for Vasquez early on election night. The 2nd District covers southern New Mexico, including the Las Cruces area, and is among the most closely watched districts in the country. The race drew heavy outside money, with donors and political action committees spending or pledging at least $21.8 million, and television ads, mailers and text campaigns ran for months. Vasquez is from Las Cruces; Cunningham is a former Marine and Albuquerque police officer. The results remain unofficial and must be reviewed by county canvassing boards before formal confirmation by the state canvassing board, with state certification set for November 24. Vasquez's re-election also means all three of New Mexico's House members are returning, and Democrats continue to hold the state's House delegation.
