Republican Rep. Yvette Herrell was defeated by Democratic challenger Gabe Vasquez in New Mexico's 2nd Congressional District, flipping a key House seat.
"To everyone out there struggling, no matter whether you voted for me or not, please know this: I see you, I hear you, and I’ll fight my heart out for you, because public service is a sacred responsibility that I will never take for granted," Vasquez said in a statement Thursday.

Herrell, a member of the Cherokee Nation, became the first Republican Native American woman to be elected to the House of Representatives following her 2020 victory when she flipped the seat from blue to red. She is the only Republican member of the New Mexico congressional delegation.
