DCCC Releases First TV Ad in NM-02: “Eliminated”

The DCCC is also running the ad in Spanish, Basta. 

The DCCC released a new TV ad in the race for NM-02 in English and Spanish, “Eliminated” and “Basta,” highlighting Yvette Herrell’s extreme anti-abortion rhetoric and record.

The ad features a video of Yvette Herrell in her own words saying that she wishes she could have “eliminated all abortion in the state” while in the state legislature. It also hits Herrell for supporting extreme abortion bans with no exceptions and being “proud” to have co-sponsored legislation calling for women and doctors to face felony charges for abortions, even in cases of rape or incest.

The ad – the first to run in NM-02 from the DCCC IE – is airing in the Albuquerque and El Paso media markets beginning today and is part of the committee’s previously announced investments in key battleground districts.
