Yvette Herrell (born March 16, 1964) is a real estate investor, Cherokee Nation member, and conservative Republican who served as the state representative from New Mexico's 51st district from 2011 to 2019. She successfully ran for United States House of Representatives from New Mexico's 2nd congressional district to unseat Democrat Xochitl Torres Small, having unsuccessfully challenged the latter for an open seat in 2018 in which allegations of Democrat voter fraud were rife.[2]
New Mexico House of Representatives
Herrell voted in March 2011 against HB 172, a bill that would prohibit the use of corporal punishment in public schools.[3]
Herrell voted in March 2013 against the lowering of corporate income tax rates.[4]

U.S. House of Representatives
2018 election
Following Rep. Steve Pearce's announcement that he would run for governor rather than seek re-election to another House term in 2018,[8] Herrell ran for the seat, winning the Republican primary and facing Democrat Xochitl Torres Small. Herrell was initially declared the winner of the race on Election Night, but "lost" after several thousand ballots were "mysteriously discovered".[9] Despite claims made by liberals that there supposedly was no evidence of election fraud, a later audit as reported by the Daily Signal found signs of such.[2] Herrell refused to concede the race due to it likely having been stolen.[10]
2020 election
Herrell announced in early 2019 that she would run against Torres Small for a rematch in the 2020 U.S. House elections.[11]
Republican primary
Facing oil executive Claire Chase in the Republican primary, Herrell faced strong criticism for promoting false rumors about Chase,[1][12] alleging refuted claims of infidelity. She also previously paid for an ad tying Chase to the Green New Deal, which sparked pushback from an oil group.[13]
Herrell won the primary to face Torres Small in the general election.[14]
General election
Herrell received the endorsement of Donald Trump for the general election.[15] She was also endorsed by former Democrat congressman Harry Teague,[16] who appeared in one of her campaign ads.[17]
Running in a mostly Republican district, Herrell won the general election, defeating Torres Small in a rematch.[18] She took office on January 3, 2021, but she was unseated in the 2022 general election by a Democrat.
