Haaland is a former leader of the Democratic Party of New Mexico, and as a member of the Laguna Pueblo people is one of the first Native American women elected to Congress.  Her public service history includes being the state vote director for Native Americans in Barack Obama’s 2012 campaign, and running for Lt Governor of New Mexico in 2014.
