Albuquerque – Since Vice President Kamala Harris became the presumptive Democratic nominee on July 21, U.S. Senator Martin Heinrich and Congressman Gabe Vasquez continue to remain silent on her energy platform. Despite oil and gas providing $11.3 billion to New Mexico’s economy and employing 100,000 of their constituents, Heinrich and Vasquez have yet to speak about Harris’ position on the Green New Deal and her alleged reversal on a fracking ban. Additionally, as global financial markets plummet, Heinrich wants to simply label everything as “weird” and Vasquez is wishing himself a happy birthday.
“When it comes to issues that matter, Martin Heinrich and Gabe Vasquez are taking a cowardly vow of silence,” said Larry Behrens, Communications Director for Power The Future. “As fears of recession spread across the globe, Martin Heinrich and Gabe Vasquez need to be honest about if they agree with Kamala Harris or not on the industry that powers their state’s economy and well-being. Every day they remain silent is more proof they want to be politicians instead of leaders.”
