John,
Climate activist Rep. Deb Haaland is poised to make history as the first Native American to serve as Secretary of the Interior -- and yet according to conservative news outlets, Republicans are already “gearing up for a fight” over her confirmation.
The GOP had no problem backing a conservative lawyer who advocated for the sale of federal lands and ridiculed Native Americans over their religious beliefs for the same position -- and yet Republican Senator Steve Daines brazenly promised to “block Haaland's confirmation” over her so-called “radical views.”
What are some of those radical views? Protecting public lands like our national parks from oil and gas drilling.
Let's be clear: The GOP's real objection is to seeing a Native American woman in power who is ready to challenge them.
Having a Native American serve as a Cabinet Secretary is long overdue, and we are proud to support the woman making history to right the centuries of injustices committed against Indigenous populations in our country -- but before the GOP attempts to block her confirmation, we need to know where you stand so we know if engaged Democrats are actually with us:
John: Should the GOP confirm Rep. Deb Haaland?
Thank you for helping us get the most accurate data on approval for bold women leaders. With your help, we can make our dreams of a representative government a reality.
