Meet Deb Haaland: a 35th-generation New Mexican, a proud member of Laguna Pueblo, a single mom who once relied on food stamps and Medicaid, and the first Native U.S. Secretary of the Interior. She’s now running to be the next governor of New Mexico.
Deb understands the challenges so many families face. She worked catering gigs and ran a small salsa business to make ends meet, overcame homelessness, and is 35 years sober.
Her journey is why she fights for New Mexico’s working families, so others don’t have to face the same hardships she did.
