AAN Launches Ad Campaign Criticizing Gabe Vasquez’s Support of Chemical Castration for Minors

(WASHINGTON) — American Action Network launched a new campaign today criticizing Representative Gabe Vasquez for supporting taxpayer-funded sex changes and chemical castration for minors. While Congress moved to block public funding for these procedures—which are prohibited in 16 countries—Vasquez voted against the ban.

Doctors use the same drug for these procedures to chemically castrate sex offenders.

“Gabe Vasquez wants to waste New Mexicans’ tax dollars, voting to allow taxpayer funding for chemical castration drugs for minors,” said AAN Spokeswoman Lydia Hall. “Gabe Vasquez should be ashamed of himself for subjecting minors to a chemical castration sex-change procedure that is banned in 16 countries.”

This campaign is part of a larger $22 million summer issue advocacy push on broadcast, digital and mail highlighting the stark contrast between conservatives and liberals on lowering costs and federal spending priorities.

As part of the Working Families Tax Cut, House Republicans delivered the largest tax cut in American history, cut taxes on tips and overtime and lowered taxes for social security beneficiaries. Meanwhile, House Democrats voted to raise taxes on working families and wasted federal money on radical priorities like taxpayer-funded sex changes for minors.

This summer issue advocacy campaign brings AAN’s total investment to a record $62 million in a single Congress.
