Yvette Herrell Stands Up For Conspiracy Theorists, Against Aid For Ukraine

Herrell votes against critical aid to Ukraine while leading amnesty legislation for conspiracy theorists at home

Last month, Yvette Herrell proudly announced legislation to rush aid to conspiracy theorists. The announcement was a slap in the face to working families who are struggling in New Mexico and across the United States, stymying cargo shipments at a time when supply chains are already stretched.

Last night, Herrell further clarified her priorities by voting against critical aid to Ukraine. While obviously eager to prop up conspiracy theorists, she was just as quick to turn her back on the people of Ukraine as they fight to preserve freedom and democracy.

Herrell’s legislative priorities continue to prove that she is uninterested in standing up for New Mexicans. Her constituents deserve to know why Herrell has chosen conspiracies and the right-wing fringe over democracy and the people of Ukraine.

DCCC Spokesperson Maddy Mundy
“Yvette Herrell cannot be trusted to stand up for democracy at home or abroad. She is a dangerous and unprincipled leader, and New Mexico voters look forward to rejecting her radicalism at the ballot box in November.”
