Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy was in #NewMexico Monday night to kick off Yvette Herrell’s campaign with a rally in #LasCruces.
Herrell, a Republican, was unseated after one term by Democrat Gabe Vasquez. She spoke to a lively crowd of supporters in Vasquez’s home city. #nmpol #YvetteHerrell #KevinMcCarthy #GabeVasquez #congress

New Mexico congressional district 2 - Gabe Vasquez.

His narrow victory flipped the district. Now the entire state is blue (for US congress. At the rural/county level...it's mostly ruby red.).

For now this is his current website if you want to learn more about him.

(I created this post mostly so I could then hashtag follow Gabe.)

How do I set up hashtag following...for something that does not yet show up in a search?

This article shows how to set up hashtag following for previously existing terms: (good stuff!)

I want to hashtag follow #GabeVasquez (New Mexico congressional district 2). Soon he will be mentioned, but not yet.

Thanks in advance!

Big thanks to @JenWojcik for getting me started on this!
