Democrat Deb Haaland's win in New Mexico is historic

Deb Haaland made history on Tuesday by becoming one of the first Native American woman elected to Congress.

Haaland, a member of the Pueblo of Laguna and the former chair of the New Mexico state Democratic Party, won New Mexico’s blue-leaning First Congressional District on Tuesday night. She joins Kansas Democrat Sharice Davids; they are the first two Native American women going to Congress. The two women will join the ranks of just two more Native American Congress members: Republican Reps. Markwayne Mullin and Tom Cole, both of Oklahoma.
