On immigration, Gallego said he supports a secure border, and according to his campaign website, he has “consistently” voted for funding to increase the number of Border Patrol agents. Gallego also supported the bipartisan border bill, which failed in Congress in early 2024.

Gallego first announced he would enter the Senate race in January 2023, saying he would challenge independent Kyrsten Sinema. Sinema later announced her retirement, leading to the race between Gallego and Lake.

Gallego, a military veteran, was elected to the state Legislature in 2010 before being elected to Congress in 2014, where he focused on veterans and military issues.
