    New Mexico's 2nd congressional district serves the southern half of New Mexico, including Las Cruces, Roswell, and the southern fourth of Albuquerque. Geographically, it is the fifth largest district in the nation, and the largest district that does not contain an entire state. It is currently represented by Republican Yvette Herrell.

    Historically, the district has leaned more Republican than New Mexico's other two districts, particularly in presidential elections.

    In the 2020 election, Republican candidate Yvette Herrell defeated Democratic representative Xochitl Torres Small in a rematch of their race in 2018. Herrell is the third Native woman elected to Congress and she assumed office on January 3, 2021.
