Here's a story national political media has missed: three Native women could make history this November.
Deb Haaland, candidate for NM Governor, could become the first Native woman elected governor in US history.
Peggy Flanagan (MN) and Mary Peltola (Alaska) could become the first two Native women senators.
I’m proud of the voices across our state standing behind our shared vision, and the momentum we’re building together across New Mexico.
I know how to fight for working families, and how to get things done. I’ve lived the challenges so many New Mexicans face, raising my child on SNAP and Medicaid, working multiple jobs, and building a small business. I have also served at the highest levels of government in Congress and as Secretary of the Interior. Experience matters. Leadership matters. And I’m ready.
She’s heading into the final 7 weeks with a 5-1 cash advantage.
<$30 average donation.
She has more campaign cash than every other candidate running for Governor combined. After you double it.
Damn. That's a lot of money...
Exclusive from @thepaperabq and @NMreport: @DebHaalandNM reports $11 million haul for Gov campaign, nearly doubling all other candidates to date

I’ve taken on Trump before—and won. Protecting healthcare, public lands, fundamental rights, and our democracy first in Congress, and then as Secretary of the Interior. Now I am ready to deliver again as your governor, New Mexico.
crazy way to say “I’m proud of getting rich defending child r*pists”
To quote Bregman himself: “I want to make it very clear that everybody has a constitutional right to an attorney. But we all make choices on what we want to do in this community, what we do for a living."
Behind closed doors, Donald Trump is making his priorities clear: instead of investing in the wellbeing of Americans, he’s choosing to spend on a war no one wanted.
Let me be clear: New Mexico will take care of our working families when Trump and his administration won’t.
You will have healthcare.
You will have childcare.
You will not go hungry.
You will not suffer because of decisions made in Washington.
New Mexico deserves leadership that actually fights for our people.
This is appalling.
Indigenous people are the original inhabitants of this continent and, here in New Mexico, we live that truth every day. The fact that the Solicitor General of the United States would hesitate on our citizenship is outrageous and horrific. He doesn’t understand basic American history or the law, and he has no business holding this position.
This morning I was in Los Lunas side by side with New Mexicans raising our voices and showing exactly what people power looks like.
Across our state and the country, folks are coming together to say enough is enough to the attacks on our communities, our rights, and our democracy.
We believe in something better. In accountability. In freedom. In a government that answers to the people not to power.
And we are doing it because we love this country. That’s what this movement is about and I’m proud to stand with you in it.
We’re not backing down.
.@DebHaalandNM is the only person on the ballot with the experience — both lived and professional — to be our next governor. In a decisive victory, Deb also has the trust of the delegates to build a brighter future for New Mexicans & take on Trump.
