DescriptionSingle-page flier endorsing Deb Haaland as the Democratic nominee for New Mexico's 1st District for the U.S. House of Representatives. At the top, in blue over a light yellow Zia symbol, it says, "DEB/HAALAND/DEMOCRAT FOR CONGRESS." There is an image of Haaland with mountains in the background. She has a serious face. Below the image of her, it says, "FOR CONGRESS/FOR US/A progressive voice/for New Mexico." The flier was paid for by Deb Haaland for Congress. On the reverse side, it says, "THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A NATIVE AMERICAN WOMAN ELECTED TO CONGRESS." Other text talks about how Haaland would improve healthcare, fight for clean energy, and overturn Citizens United. It also says, "VOTE TUES JUNE 5/Early Voting: May 19-June 2." There are two overlapping holes punched out at the top in the center and another punched hole near these. The paper around the top punched holes has been ripped off on one side. The front side has two stickers attached after production that say, "Today is election day!/Vote Deb Haaland for/Congress!" and "RECENTLY ENDORSED BY/CITY COUNCILOR PAT/DAVIS!" 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.
