Hi John,
We’re buzzing with pride to share that our very own trailblazer and Emerge New Mexico graduate (Class of 2007), U.S. Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland, appeared on The Daily Show with Michael Kosta last Wednesday night! If you missed it, don’t worry—we’ve got you covered.

Secretary Haaland, as always, brought her calm confidence, razor-sharp insights, and a touch of humor that’s pure New Mexico magic. Online commenters couldn’t get enough of her cool, composed vibes and how she effortlessly balanced humor with gravity—someone even called her the “cool aunt who schools you on history while making you laugh,” and we totally agree!
Deb Haaland’s journey from Emerge New Mexico’s Class of 2007 to becoming the first Native American Cabinet Secretary is a powerful reminder of why our work matters. Leaders like her are breaking barriers, shaping critical conversations, and inspiring a generation to lead with purpose and resilience. Take a moment to watch, share it widely, and let’s celebrate the incredible leader we’re so fortunate to call one of our own! With pride, Estela Hernandez Executive Director, Emerge New Mexico |
