Welcome to Blue CD2 NM

Gabe Won!! Thank you for your support.
We're celebrating right now, but we'll be working to
​flip CD2 blue up and down the ballot in 2024.

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, reproductive rights and the environment. That’s why a group of determined volunteers formed BlueCD2 NM and worked to expose Herrell’s one-sided agenda.
​
HOW IT’S GOING
Happily, Gabe Vasquez, a Democrat, won the race with our backing.  Yvette Herrell was defeated in the midterms by a narrow margin of less than 2,000 votes. Our Get Out the Vote (GOTV) effort succeeded in motivating about 5,000 infrequent voters to go to the polls and vote.  We can reasonably say our efforts may have made the difference which flipped a red seat blue.  Learn more about Gabe here.

Our membership is statewide (and even national) and includes like-minded organizations and individuals.  We welcome volunteers to join us for the important work ahead. In the next 2 years, we plan to focus on communicating Democratic accomplishments and drawing attention to MAGA Republican antics and misdirection.  If you're interested in joining us, please do so  here .

Join Us

Our District

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 like Gabe Vasquez, 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!

We support Democratic policies & candidates up and down the ballot in CD2

Our objectives:   

• Elect Gabriel Vasquez to Congress in 2022. 
• Create and share customizable digital media with other organizations and down ballot candidates
• Support down ballot Democratic candidates by sharing data and providing in-kind consulting services by Blue CD2 NM volunteer experts in data utilization, marketing, and fundraising.   
• Encourage Democratic-leaning voters to register to vote and low-propensity voters to vote during every election. 
• Inform and engage Independents and persuadable Republicans with messaging about values.

CD2 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. 

        Rep. Yvette Herrell led a misinformation campaign and helped spread the 'Big Lie' on social media and conservative news media outlets by sowing doubt about the presidential election results," Democratic U.S. Rep. Ruben Gallego of Arizona said in a statement. "She tried to undermine our democracy and, in doing so, she helped incite the insurrection. "
