It’s Women’s History Month,
so I want to take a moment to honor some of the fierce women who made me
who I am.

[ [link removed] ]First, will you donate $5 to our grassroots campaign for governor
to help make history in New Mexico? It’d mean so much to me, especially
during Women’s History Month.

From my great-grandmother, mother and many before them, I’ve been blessed
to come from generations of resilient and fierce Pueblo women.

fierce women who raised me – plus me in my Garth Brooks tee!

My mother, Mary Toya, was born and raised in a boxcar, where the Laguna
people created a community far from their home. She proudly served in the
U.S. Navy, raised four kids as a military wife, and devoted 25 years to
Indian education at the Bureau of Indian Affairs.

Standing on the shoulders of women who came before me, I summoned the
courage to run for office. When I became one of the first Native American
women elected to Congress, I swore to leave the ladder down behind me so
girls of color know they can be anything they want to be.

But here’s what I’m reminded of this Women’s History
Month: History doesn’t
just happen. We have to make it together.

No state in America has ever elected a Native American woman as governor.
