Veteran, businessman, and former State Senator Gabriel Ramos today announced his campaign to run for New Mexico State Senate District 28. 

Ramos first engaged in public service when he was elected to Grant County Clerk at age 25. He was later elected to serve on the Cobre School Board, Hurley Town Council and then the Grant County Commission for eight years before being appointed to the New Mexico Senate in 2019.

A Hispanic Catholic, Ramos was pushed out of his seat by radical Santa Fe politicians after he not only refused to back down from his values of life, freedom, and opportunity, but also rejected their agenda of power and control.

“My values have not changed. What has changed is the divisive agenda of progressive politicians in Santa Fe. They chose politics over helping New Mexicans. They left common sense behind, and they left us behind. Now I’m running to represent Southwest New Mexico again, and I’m just as strong and ready to fight for you as I have ever been,” said Ramos.

Ramos’s campaign highlights the need for our government to shift focus back to creating jobs instead of killing them, celebrating constitutional freedoms instead of silencing them, and providing real educational opportunities for children instead of a politicized curriculum and resources.  “I will not let the values and traditions of Southwest New Mexico be dictated by Santa Fe politicians and lobbyists who don’t care about or listen to us. I will be a true voice for Grant, Luna and Hidalgo County,” said Ramos.

In addition to his public service, Ramos has a background of service to our country and the state of New Mexico. He joined the New Mexico National Guard at 17, then went to work at the Hurley Mines before opening his own car wash business, as well as working in the insurance business.
