The Zia symbol is representative of the sun, and is a solid circle with four lines, or rays, emanating from each of the four main sides of the circle. In a gold box running vertically up the "D" in "DEB," it says, "DEMOCRAT." Below the text, in gold, it says, "VOTE NOV 6TH TO SEND THE FIRST NATIVE/AMERICAN WOMAN TO CONGRESS." There is a white border, and the yellow background has a visual texture. The reverse side talks about Deb's stances and shows who has endorsed her.
