Zamora's Election Myth and Fundraising Struggle

State Rep. Martin Zamora, running for Congress, stirred controversy by resurrecting a debunked tale about 2018’s New Mexico congressional race—claiming Democratic Secretary of State called Republican Yvette Herrell the winner before ballots were fully counted. The real story: Herrell prematurely declared victory, saw her lead vanish, and ultimately lost by over 3,000 votes. She later questioned the results on Fox News. Zamora, who narrowly won his own state race by 27 votes after a recount, used Herrell’s case to push for election accountability—ironically while facing a massive fundraising deficit against incumbent Teresa Leger Fernandez. His campaign admits to being “a little lax” on fundraising and hopes for GOP support. His voting record also includes twice supporting a 1969 abortion ban, and he declined to elaborate when asked about exceptions for rape victims.
