This is Standard Republican Policy. Is This What You Want?
Forget the slogans. Judged by what they voted for, what they did, and what they refused to stop, this is what Republicans in Congress stand for, on 20 issues, with the receipts.

Gregg Hull, the MAGA Republican running for governor of New Mexico, said Medicaid, SNAP food benefits and free child care "empower this type of failure," and claimed New Mexicans have been "convinced that this is a lifestyle" so they "don't have to do anything" for themselves.
At two campaign stops, the Republican nominee for New Mexico governor listed Medicaid, SNAP and free child care, then said 'we empower this type of failure' and that people have been 'convinced that this is a lifestyle.' Hundreds of thousands of New Mexicans rely on them.
Someone has to pay to power the AI build-out. In Texas, Florida, Ohio, Georgia and New Mexico, these five Republicans have spent the last few years making sure it's you.
At a Lea County GOP meeting in Hobbs, a voter asked Hull to commit to working with Greg Abbott to reduce Texans coming to New Mexico for abortions. He said 'absolutely' — three times — and 'I'm pro-life, so we're gonna see what we can do.' A week later he told a reporter the question was about something else.
New Mexico doesn't require ID to vote in statewide elections. Hull's campaign site says he'd change that — 'uniform enforcement of voter identification requirements' statewide — while refusing to answer a questionnaire asking whether people should be able to vote without photo ID.
Medicaid covers about 42% of New Mexicans — the highest rate in the country. Asked how he'd govern through Trump's cuts, the Republican nominee for governor said if it 'requires some scaling back, then we'll have to look at that.'
Hull opposes a pause on new data centers and says they should be sited where 'produced water is available.' New Mexico's own scientists say that water is a toxic soup that can't be treated safely — and the state banned discharging it last year.
