CREATING JOBS & OPPORTUNITY
Too many New Mexicans are feeling the pain of Washington's policies in their everyday lives. From high prices to a stagnant economy, we deserve better and Yvette Herrell is a proven job creator who can get to work on day one to put America back on track.
LOWER PRICES ON EVERY THING FROM GROCERIES TO GAS
HOLD GOVERNMENT SPENDING IN CHECK
MAKE AMERICA ENERGY INDEPENDENT AGAIN
KEEP WASHINGTON FOCUSSED ON WHAT MATTERS
END OUR DEPENDENCE ON CHINA & RESTORE THE AMERICAN SUPPLY CHAIN THROUGH MANUFACTURING HERE
We can put Americans back to work if we end the subsidies that keep them home and make it easier to manufacture in America, create jobs, and start a small business. That starts with reducing burdensome regulations and using common sense.
KEEPING AMERICANS SAFE
Washington has left Americans to fend for themselves on the Southern Border and we are done with their false promises and lack of attention. There is a real human and national security crisis happening and we need leaders who understand.
SECURE THE BORDER & SUPPORT BORDER PATROL
INVEST IN LAW ENFORCEMENT, NOT DEFUND THEM
HOLD CRIMINALS ACCOUNTABLE & FOLLOW THE LAW
HOLD CHINA ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS
INVEST IN OUR NATIONAL SECURITY, EXPAND ON THE IMPORTANT WORK BEING DONE RIGHT HERE IN NEW MEXICO
Radical woke elites in Washington want to defund the police and let China dictate how we live our lives. We the people have had enough, it's time we change course and hold those who do us harm accountable for their actions, foreign and domestic.
WE THE PEOPLE, NOT THE ELITES
The political class in Washington have forgotten about the hardworking, middle-class of America. Government works for us and Yvette Herrell has and will continue to hold government accountable to the American people.
CARE FOR OUR VETERANS & GET THE VA ON TRACK
PROTECT OUR CONSTITUTIONAL FREEDOMS
STOP THE RADICAL GREEN AGENDA & LOWER OUR GAS PRICES
RESTORE FAITH IN OUR ELECTORAL SYSTEMS
STOP THE WOKE POLITICS THAT DIVIDE OUR NATION & START WORKING TOGETHER TO SOLVE THE REAL PROBLEMS
Government should not be used to divide the people and push one radical agenda over another. We need our leaders to work together to make life easier, because every American is struggling under policies that have not prioritized We the People.
STANDING FOR OUR VALUES
New Mexico is a unique place to call home. Beautiful and diverse, but often times left behind. Decades of failed policies have left our kids not ready to compete and our families struggling to make ends meet. We can and must do better for New Mexico.
GET POLITICS OUT OF THE CLASSROOM
MORE PARENT OVERSIGHT OF PUBLIC EDUCATION
SUPPORT OUR FARMERS & RANCHERS
FIGHT FOR OUR WATER RIGHTS & PRIVATE PROPERTY RIGHTS
STOP GOVERNMENT OVERREACH INTO OUR LIVES AND PROTECT THE HARDWORKING FAMILIES OF NEW MEXICO
Our farmers & ranchers are faced with increased costs on everything and government seems to only stand in the way. Yvette Herrell has always been a tireless champion of our rural values because she's like us and she will continue to fight for us in Congress.
OPINION: Abortion already being used as a wedge issue in congressional race
We’re getting close to election season, which for me means again preparing to see and hear millions of dollars in advertising from liberal special interest groups smearing me and misleading New Mexico voters about my positions. They are desperate to keep my common sense voice out of Congress, and the truth means nothing to them in that pursuit.
This time around they’re getting an early start, using the sensitive and personal topic of abortion to confuse New Mexicans about where I stand. I want you to hear directly from me in order to sort fact from fiction.
First, and this is no secret, I am pro-life. As a Christian, I believe every human life is a sacred gift from God.I also greatly empathize with the many women who find themselves with an unintended pregnancy, which is why I support exceptions for rape, incest and the life of the mother. These can be very difficult and scary situations, and it is important that we extend every option available to women to help them make the right decision for their personal situation, including access to women’s health care services, ultrasounds and counseling.I believe we must do a better job of supporting mothers — and fathers — through pregnancy, birth and beyond.
This is why I support making the adoption process easier, making it less of a burden to foster children, and providing tax relief for mothers on baby supplies like diapers or bottles.I also fully support increased access to birth control, education that can reduce unintended pregnancies, and fertility treatments like in vitro fertilization (IVF) that have given countless families the opportunity to experience the joy of parenthood.When the Supreme Court overturned Roe vs. Wade in 2022, it returned the responsibility of setting abortion policy to the states. The people of each state must now decide for themselves what limits should be placed on abortion.That is not to say that I agree with New Mexico’s current policy of abortion being legal up until the day of birth for any reason.
I am disappointed to see our progressive leaders continue to create a late-term abortion tourism industry in our state using your taxpayer dollars.
However, if the voters of New Mexico’s Second Congressional District choose to return me to Congress, I will respect the Supreme Court’s ruling. I will not support a national abortion ban. That authority now lies with New Mexicans and our leaders at the state level.I will, though, oppose any attempts to fund abortions with federal tax dollars. And I will support guaranteeing medical care for babies born alive after a failed abortion – something my extreme opponent voted against.
Congressman Gabe Vasquez’s positions – abortion up to the moment of birth, paid for with taxpayer funds, even allowing a newborn to die on a cold metal tray – are extreme.My radical opponent and his liberal allies in Washington, D.C., are using this issue to try to divide us as New Mexicans. They are intent on distracting us from their dismal failures on the border, the economy, public safety, and combating extremism on college campuses. I believe that we are better than that.We can disagree civilly on difficult issues like abortion, while working together to bring down the cost of living, secure our border, and get crime under control.
New Mexicans should stand with me to demand the same from our current congressman.Yvette Herrell is a former New Mexico state lawmaker and also represented New Mexico’s Second Congressional District from 2021 to 2023. She is the Republican candidate for the congressional seat again in 2024.
