Herrera Steps Down, Names Successor | Santa Fe News

State Rep. Susan Herrera has stepped down early from her Embudo seat, paving the way for a smooth transition to Yolanda “Pancha” Jaramillo, the acequia leader and only candidate running for House District 41. Herrera, who served since 2019 and championed landmark legislation slashing storefront lender interest rates from 175% to 36%, endorsed Jaramillo as the ideal successor.

Herrera’s early exit ensures her successor has time to prepare for the next legislative session — a move she believes will benefit both her constituents and the state.
