However, I believe that Yvette Harrell will win this race. I think this because, current polls show Yvette is up by an average of 2%, and the district has traditionally voted Republican. It is very possible that Xochitl will win however, because this is a competitive race.]]> 2018-11-07 02:00:50 UTC https://padlet.com/cheyennee/3mkpjg3ellp7/wish/301302967 cheyennee https://padlet.com/cheyennee/3mkpjg3ellp7/wish/301302968 Yvette believes in strict enforcement of current immigration laws.

Xochitl wants to improve New Mexico's economy. She plans to do this through updating the technology, such as broadband, in her district. She would also like to improve education in the district. Xochitl also hopes to bring affordable healthcare to her constituants. Finally Xochitl wants to improve the VA and mental health access to veterans.]]> 2018-11-07 02:00:50 UTC https://padlet.com/cheyennee/3mkpjg3ellp7/wish/301302969 cheyennee https://padlet.com/cheyennee/3mkpjg3ellp7/wish/301302970 The Congressional Leadership Fund is spending $700,000 to support Yvette Harrell
