Yvette Herrell now holds the record for most appearances on the Dirty Dozen list, having lost to LCVAF-endorsed candidates in 2018 and 2022. She has a 0% lifetime LCV score and was one of the top recipients of oil and gas money during her brief time in Congress. Yvette Herrell has taken $735,161, in campaign contributions from the oil and gas industry, and even voted to protect oil companies from price-gouging investigations.
As a state legislator, Yvette Herrell made herself an enemy of public lands in New Mexico and cosponsored two bills that proposed transferring federal lands to state control, a move which could make it easier for the land to end up in the hands of private developers. She also voted for a bill that would limit public access to streams for fishing.
