ARTESIA — U.S. House Majority Leader Steve Scalise attended a reception Wednesday in support of Republican candidate for Congress, Yvette Herrell.
The event was held at the Artesia Country Club, and the funds raised benefitted Herrell’s campaign to retake New Mexico’s Second Congressional District.
“I am proud to endorse my friend Yvette Herrell for Congress in New Mexico’s Second District,” said Scalise. “Yvette is a humble and hardworking leader who proved her effectiveness as legislator while serving in the New Mexico House and then in Congress. As a small business woman, Yvette is a champion for good paying jobs and the New Mexico industries that create them, and is a strong advocate for the conservative principles that make our country great.”
“It was a great honor to have my good friend Leader Scalise here in New Mexico to support our campaign,” Herrell said. “I also deeply appreciate each of the patriotic New Mexicans who attended today – together we can flip this seat and protect our energy industry, secure the border, and preserve our rights as Americans.”
