John, Tonight is the first and only debate in the race for New Mexico’s 2nd congressional district. It’s a major opportunity for me to share our campaign’s message with the voters and go toe-to-toe with my far-right opponent Yvette Herrell on our stances. As we already know, Herrell is an anti-choice MAGA extremist who wants to ban abortion nationwide, even in cases of rape, incest, or the life of the mother. She’s an election-denier who used her first vote in Congress to try and overturn the 2020 election results. And she’s voted against bills that would help New Mexicans — like lower prescription drug prices, a higher minimum wage, and better health care for veterans — at every turn. Unlike Herrell, I won’t prioritize pushing an extreme agenda or looking out for corporate interests. My #1 priority is to fight for you, the people. When elected to Congress, I will always defend a woman’s right to choose, protect our environment and public lands, help raise wages and lower costs, and make healthcare more affordable. And I will never try to overturn the will of the people by denying election results. The pundits and polls are saying we CAN flip this toss-up seat from red to blue in November and help hold the House majority. But it’s going to take continued support from people like you until the very last moment.
Thank you for everything you’ve done to get us here. You can tune in to the debate tonight on KOB at 6:30 pm MT! It will also be available online via live stream here. Si se puede! Gabe
