“So like his generation, up out of the Depression; let’s now work together and stand together and America, together, we will rise,” he added.Rep. Deb Halaand points out that she's a '35th generation New Mexican' I stand here today … a proud 35th generation New Mexican and one of the first Native American women ever elected to Congress.
