DescriptionSingle-page flier endorsing Deb Haaland as the democratic candidate in the June 2018 primary election for U.S. Congress. One side shows Haaland in front of a group of mostly women holding signs supporting Haaland. Below this image it says, "DEB HAALAND/THE NEW VOICE WE/NEED IN CONGRESS." Under this sentence, there is information about who has endorsed her. There are two holes punched out near the top left corner. There are three stickers attached. Two stickers are identical and say, "RECENTLY ENDORSED BY/CITY COUNCILOR PAT/DAVIS!" The other sticker says, "Today is election day!/Vote Deb Haaland for/Congress!" The reverse side has a picture of a woman hugging a pre-teenaged girl. In a red square near the top left corner, it says, "IT'S TIME TO/BE FIERCE/VOTE JUNE 5." 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. She is one of the first Native American women to serve in Congress. In Congress, she focused on environmental justice, climate change, missing and murdered indigenous women, and family-friendly policies.
