Receipts: Yvette Herrell’s Record of Trying to Defund the Police

It’s Police Week. Cue Yvette Herrell’s inevitable lies about supporting law enforcement.

For a former congresswoman with a lengthy anti-police record, Yvette Herrell sure loves to claim that she supports law enforcement. Does Herrell not realize that her voting history is public?

• Yvette Herrell voted against providing $350 billion for state and local funding to bolster law enforcement and policing.

• Herrell voted against legislation that would have provided more than $79 million to the Capitol Police in response to the January 6 insurrection.

• Herrell called Couy Griffin, who went on to participate in the January 6th insurrection, “truly one of the endorsements [she was] most proud of.”

DCCC Spokesperson Lauryn Fanguen:
“Yvette Herrell claims to support the police despite consistently voting to block funding for law enforcement. Herrell has no interest in keeping New Mexicans safe and voters are tired of the perpetual lies she tries to hide behind.”
