Today, Yvette Herrell joined her Washington party bosses and voted to block legislation to protect New Mexicans from harmful attacks on their right to vote.
The Freedom to Vote: John R. Lewis Act is more important than ever. As Republican state lawmakers introduce hundreds of bills to suppress voters and pass dozens of laws that limit voters’ access to the ballot box, this bill would expand New Mexicans’ opportunities to vote and combat the GOP’s voter suppression crusade.
While Herrell voted with every other extremist Republican against putting a stop to the onslaught of Jim Crow-style voter suppression laws hurting voters, House Democrats fought to protect the American people’s most sacred right.

“It’s clear Yvette Herrell thinks her party’s best way back to a majority is by suppressing the power of voters. If Yvette Herrell is too afraid of her own voters, she has no business representing them in Congress.”
