Speaking Before Elizabeth Warren, Debra Halland Announces “If Elected, I’ll Be The First Native American Woman In Congress”

Debra Haaland is an American politician from New Mexico and a former Chair of the Democratic Party of New Mexico.
She is the 2018 Democratic nominee for the United States House of Representatives to represent New Mexico’s 1st congressional district.

Upon being introduced to NetRoots Nation she made the following statement:

Quote:

Hello Netroots Nation! My name is Deb Haaland. I’m the Democratic nominee for New Mexico’s first congressional district,” Haaland began.

If elected, I’ll be the first Native American woman In Congress.

Thank-you.

I’m a citizen of the Pueblo of Laguna and a 35th generation New-Mexican.

I’m a single mother to my beautiful queer daughter, a water protector and I’m proud to be here.

Her statement brought about a tremendous round of of applause after which she showed great respect by acknowledging the the fact that the event was being held on indigenous land.

 

 

Something that was completely lost on Warren who hit the stage like a “Vegas Showman”.

 

Of course, that’s just my opinion!
