Deb Haaland Wins Democratic Nomination

Deb Haaland has won the Democratic nomination for New Mexico governor, defeating Sam Bregman in a primary that wrapped up in under an hour. A 35th-generation New Mexican and Laguna Pueblo leader, Haaland campaigned by visiting polling places and connecting with voters—many thrilled by the historic possibility of her becoming the first Indigenous governor in the state. With deep roots in tribal leadership, including serving on the Laguna Development Corporation Board and chairing the New Mexico Democratic Party, she brings a powerful legacy: elected to Congress in 2018 as one of the first Native American women, then appointed Secretary of the Interior in 2021—the first Native American cabinet secretary in U.S. history. If she wins the general election, she’ll also become the first Indigenous woman to lead a state in America—a milestone that resonates far beyond New Mexico’s borders.
