Rep. Deb Haaland (D), a citizen of the Pueblo of Laguna, easily won another term in office, representing New Mexico’s 1st Congressional District.
“Tonight the people of New Mexico have chosen hope over fear, love over hate, community over division, and I am so honored that New Mexican’s have chosen me to serve in our nation’s 117th Congress,” Haaland wrote on Twitter.
Though not all precincts have been fully counted in the district, unofficial results from the New Mexico Secretary of State show Haaland with about 59 percent of the vote at around 8:20pm Mountain time on Tuesday evening.
Haaland made history in 2018 by becoming one of the first Native women to win election to Congress.
