DescriptionSmall, single-page flier for mailing that endorses Deb Haaland for New Mexico's 1st Congressional District. The front cover has four pictures of Haaland talking with different people. At the top of the flier, in turquoise text on a light-colored background, it says, "DEB UNDERSTANDS/THE CHALLENGES/WE FACE/[in cursive]Because she's lived them." Below the pictures, in light gray and light yellow on a turquoise background, it says, "DEB HAALAND/FOR CONGRESS./FOR US." On the reverse side, the addressee's name and address are inked over with Sharpie. The flier was paid for by the Democratic Party of New Mexico. Haaland won the election to represent New Mexico’s 1st District in the U.S. Congress. She is a member of the Pueblo of Laguna and a 35th generation New Mexican. After running for New Mexico Lieutenant Governor in 2014, Secretary Haaland became the first Native American woman to be elected to lead a State Party.

In Congress, she focused on environmental justice, climate change, missing and murdered indigenous women, and family-friendly policies.
