Former Interior Secretary Deb Haaland has launched her campaign for governor of New Mexico. Haaland, who served in President Joe Biden's cabinet and previously represented New Mexico in the U.S. House, cited issues like crime, poverty, and homelessness as motivating factors for her candidacy.
Former Interior Sec. Deb Haaland has announced a New Mexico gubernatorial bid. The politician, who served in a cabinet post during most of former President Joe Biden's White House tenure, previously served in the U.S. House of Representatives. 'But the problems we face now are bigger than ever, and we must be fierce to solve them. That's why I am running for governor of the great state of New Mexico,' she said in a video.
New Mexico is rich in tradition and spirit, rich in natural resources. So why can't our families pay our bills? Crime, poverty, homelessness, addiction — they will keep pulling us down if we do the same things and expect a different result,' she declared. Last month on Jan. 20 — the day President Donald Trump was inaugurated — Haaland suggested in a post on X that the new administration does not care about 'regular people.
