Congratulations Deb Haaland!

President-Elect Joe Biden has made history in nominating the first Native American to a Cabinet level seat. Our very own and very loved U.S. Representative Deb Haaland will hopefully breeze through the confirmation process and become Secretary of the Interior. She will have a lot of work to do to reverse the White House’s attacks on public lands for the last four years. Be Fierce!

Meanwhile, various names are being publicized as interested in vying for the Democratic nomination to fill her vacant congressional seat. The Democratic Party of New Mexico’s State Central Committee members for CD 1 will select the Democrat who will face candidates from the other political parties in a general election.

We have an opportunity to select another exemplary New Mexico Democrat to represent us in Washington, D.C. Let’s get to work!
