Dear John,

Rep. Deb Haaland (D-NM), a 35th generation New Mexican and enrolled member of the Pueblo of Laguna, is a strong advocate for conservation, climate action and clean energy.

As the first Native American nominated to serve in a cabinet position, she also represents a groundbreaking opportunity to ensure our government is more inclusive and better reflects the views and interests of all Americans.

Please take action to urge your senators to vote to confirm Rep. Haaland as the Interior Secretary we need to advance conservation and climate action priorities in this important cabinet position.

Rep. Haaland’s nomination is supported by nearly 500 national and regional organizations representing tens of millions of Americans. These groups include environmental organizations as well as Native American, environmental justice, Western community groups and outdoor business groups.

In a public letter, these organizations have come together to celebrate Rep. Haaland’s record as a proven leader and “the right person to lead the charge against the existential threats of our time – tackling the climate, biodiversity, extinction and COVID-19 crises, and racial justice inequities on our Federal public lands and waters.”

As the next Secretary of Interior, Rep. Haaland will support common sense environmental protections and take action to address the concerns of tribes and local communities who live on and near public lands and tribal areas.

Rep. Haaland has a stellar bipartisan record of fighting for science, climate action and the protection of iconic landscapes, critical cultural sites, wildlife, oceans, rivers, lakes and streams.

She is a champion for the creation of good-paying clean energy and outdoor recreation jobs. And she will help implement the Biden-Harris climate and conservation plan while protecting our access to public lands.

Rep. Haaland is the leader we need to lead the Interior Department. With your help, we are proud to be part of a broad, diverse network of millions of Americans who support her confirmation.

Please take action today to urge your senators to vote “Yes” on Rep. Haaland.

Thank you for your advocacy and support,
