Rep. Gabriel Vasquez, D-N.M., voted against the package that implemented President Donald Trump’s "no tax on tips" law despite calling for a permanent implementation of the policy just a month later.
"Tipped workers deserve to take home more of their hard-earned pay," Vasquez told local outlets in August.
Vasquez, along with the rest of his Democratic colleagues, voted against President Donald Trump’s "Big Beautiful Bill," which became law on July 4 and included the no-tax-on-tips provision.
But unlike most Democrats who have soundly condemned almost every facet of the tax and border security package, Vasquez’s call to further extend portions of the bill highlights his attempts to win over one of the most competitive districts in the country.
