Hello,
In a dangerous polling shift, Democratic Representative Xochitl Torres Small -- one of our endorsed candidates -- has just had her race in New Mexico’s 2nd congressional district moved from “tilt Democrat” to “toss-up,” according to Inside Elections.
In 2016, Representative Torres Small flipped the historically red district by fewer than 4,000 votes -- making history while helping Democrats take back the House. Since then, she has led with the mantra that “common sense solutions don’t come with a party label” -- and she’s now working to protect her seat and block the GOP’s full-fledged efforts to flip New Mexico red.
But AP News has reported that Rep. Torres Small’s Trump-endorsed opponent, Yvette Herrell, had “one of the biggest fundraising quarters for a Republican congressional candidate in state history” after calling on Donald Trump and his Republican loyalists to campaign for her -- and state numbers show that Republican voter registration is outpacing Democrats in the district by more than twice the margin of victory in 2018.
Democrats have warned us that this presidential election could be decided in the House if Donald Trump decides to contest election results and if voter turnout is low. Despite our Democratic House majority, Republicans hold a majority of state delegations in the House. We cannot afford to lose any Democratic seats -- that’s why we’re mobilizing to provide crucial support to Rep. Xochitl Torres Small’s campaign in the last stretch of the election.
With your help, we’ll protect and expand our House majority and exile Trump’s far-right agenda from power.
We can’t thank you enough for all you’re doing to move our country forward.
