Hello Democrats,
41 days into her campaign for U.S. Senate, No-Answer Nella still has yet to explain to New Mexicans where she stands on the most important issues facing our state and country. But actions speak louder than words (and certainly more than silence), and her actions show an extreme, far-right stance on reproductive health care that would decimate these rights in New Mexico.
In 2022, Nella donated the maximum amount allowed under federal law to Yvette Herrell’s congressional campaign. In her congressional term, Herrell championed the Life at Conception Act, which aimed to ban all abortions with no exceptions, in vitro fertilization (IVF), and even certain types of contraceptives. Nella’s max-out donation to Herrell’s campaign came just months after the Dobbs Decision, overturning the protections of Roe v. Wade. This puts Nella and Herrell wholly in line with the recent decision of the Alabama Supreme Court to deny families in-vitro fertilization rights.
Just last week, Nella spoke at an event hosted by Kurstin Johnson, a GOP candidate for the New Mexico State Senate in Albuquerque. During an unsuccessful campaign for the New Mexico House of Representatives in 2022, Johnson’s campaign largely focused on supporting a 15-week abortion ban.
Considering Nella has thus far dodged questions about abortion rights, her choice to have one of her earliest campaign events hosted by an anti-choice radical shows that she would be a disaster for reproductive rights if she ever held office.
This is a reminder that abortion rights are always on the ballot in New Mexico and it’s up to Democrats like you to do your part to help safeguard these critical rights. Can you make a donation to DPNM today to help us keep fighting to make sure New Mexico remains a safe haven for abortion rights?
