Hey There – it’s Deb Haaland. I’m running for Governor of New
Mexico and Stand Up said I could reach out to you.
One thing you should know about me is that I love to cook.
My love of cooking New Mexican cuisine started early, thanks to the hours
I spent watching my grandmother bake bread in her mud oven and stir huge
pots of posole. She wouldn’t let us kids in the kitchen while she cooked,
but I’d perch myself outside and watch her through the window for hours. I
still hold those memories close as I prepare my favorite traditional New
Mexican dishes.

New Mexico chiles – the best in the world!
There’s something powerful about connecting with others over a home cooked
meal. When I was in law school at UNM, I’d make chicken green chile stew
for student gatherings, and I made that same dish for my Congressional
colleagues during the 2019 winter holiday season. I even cooked chile and
tortillas for the water protectors when I traveled to Standing Rock during
the protests against the Dakota Access Pipeline.
Cooking became more than a hobby after I decided to start my own salsa
business. I worked out of a commercial kitchen and bought my red chile
pequin from a farm in northern New Mexico. I’d prepare my salsa and
deliver jars to mom-and-pop shops across the state, often with Somáh
riding with me in the back seat.

Here’s Somáh posing with jars of my homemade salsa. Kids in New Mexico start
early… 🌶️
For me, cooking has always been a way to foster connection and build
community, which is exactly what we’re doing now as we grow our campaign
for New Mexico. I’ve had the chance to sit down with New Mexicans in
living rooms and at kitchen tables to hear about their lives, their
struggles, and their hopes for the future. Every conversation is another
reminder of the incredibly high stakes in this race – and proof that if we
organize around our shared values, we will win.
