Welcome to Blue CD2

HOW IT STARTED
In 2020 Republicans waged an aggressive campaign to elect Yvette Herrell, an unabashed Trumper and right-wing zealot, to represent New Mexico’s Second Congressional District (CD2). Since taking office, Herrell has voted against just about everything—including the American Rescue Plan. Back in CD2, her No votes raised the question, “What is Yvette Herrell doing for you?” The answer: Nada, nothing, zero. That’s why a group of kindred volunteers formed BlueCD2 NM and began working together to expose Herrell’s one-sided agenda and defeat her in 2022. HOW IT’S GOING Our experienced leaders and enthusiastic volunteers have worked hard to equip our members with the tools needed for the fight ahead. Our membership is district-wide and represents like-minded organizations and individuals. We've set up committees and have an on-line social media presence. We’ve established a donation site and have already begun funding two projects in the district. We welcome other organizations and volunteers to join us for the important work ahead. But there's more, much more. Learn about Herrell's dismal voting record and her eyebrow-raising antics here. |

We're a group of like-minded folks who don't believe Yvette Herrell is focused on New Mexico's Congressional District 2, but rather on whatever the extreme right of the Republican Party feels is important. CD2 deserves a congressional representative who is focused on CD2's actual needs.
If you agree, please sign up here and tell us a bit about yourself. We're excited to have you join us! 
Learn About Our DistrictCD2 is one of the largest congressional districts in the country, and includes most of the southern half of New Mexico. Its unique characteristics include the oil patch, ranchers, farmers, indigenous people and much, much more. It deserves a far better representative in Congress than we have currently.

Watch this space for actions you can take to help defeat Yvette in 2022. It's not far off!
Something's not right in the Land of Enchantment.In 2018, more than 20% of CD2’s population lived below the federal poverty level. When taxes on the wealthiest 1% are cut, while so many New Mexicans struggle with basic necessities, something is very wrong with the way government is working. It should work FOR us, and it can.
We need a representative in Congress who will speak for us, fight for us and represent us with honesty and transparency. We don’t have such a representative in Yvette Herrell. Sound energy policy can make Southern New Mexico a leader in renewable energy, with good-paying jobs. Sound agricultural policy can help our farmers store more carbon in the soil and cope with a rapidly changing climate. We don’t need a representative who wants to make the rich richer, deny science and lie about immigrants, while voting NO on commonsense legislation. We require leaders who see the potential of our people and our resources, and are committed to using our tax dollars to benefit us all. |
