WASHINGTON D.C.  — U.S. Representative Gabe Vasquez, N.M.,  voted in favor of H.R.82, the Social Security Fairness Act, which strengthens Social Security benefits for public servants, on Nov. 12.

“For too long, hard working New Mexicans, including firefighters, teachers and postal workers, have faced unfair cuts to their benefits,” Vasquez said. “I am proud to vote to pass the bipartisan Social Security Fairness Act that solves this problem. This bill finally ensures that...
