Former Interior Secretary Deb Haaland (Laguna Pueblo) officially launched her campaign for Governor of New Mexico today. The announcement follows weeks of speculation about Haaland’s next move after leaving her position as Interior Secretary on January 20, 2025. A former congresswoman, Haaland brings a strong background in public service to the race.
In her launch video, Haaland emphasized issues such as the cost of living and public safety while underscoring the importance of listening to communities across New Mexico. She also highlighted her experience in securing resources for small businesses, creating clean energy jobs, funding water projects in rural areas, and leading efforts to clean up pollution across New Mexico’s landscapes—both as a congresswoman and as Secretary of the Interior.
“Lowering costs, making rent and housing affordable, strengthening our schools, and preventing crimes so that you feel safe raising a family here. The solutions are there if we are fierce enough to choose them,” Haaland said in the launch video.
