Deb Haaland ‘preparing’ to run for New Mexico governor
Former U.S. Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland is “preparing” to run for governor of New Mexico in 2026, a campaign spokesperson confirmed to Source NM on Tuesday. If elected, Haaland would be the first Native American person to head the state government in its 113-year history.
Deb Haaland set out four years ago on a historic journey as the first Native American to serve as U.S. Interior secretary.
