Congratulations to Deb Haaland, the first Native American woman elected governor. She’ll lead New Mexico with resilience in the face of this administration.
Democrat Deb Haaland has won the New Mexico Governor's race.
She will make history as the nation's first Native American governor.
Community note
Haaland, a member of the Laguna Pueblo, will be the first female Native American governor of any U.S. state, not the first overall. Johnston Murray was the first Native American to be elected governor in the U.S.

This is very concerning news. Amina Seck is an incredible athlete who came to the states from Senegal to play the game she loves and get a higher education.
I had the chance to call a game of hers last season. She was Kentucky State’s lead scorer last season. Her coach and team thinks the world of her. She’s a great kid and does not deserve this.
I’m asking all HBCU alums, any women’s basketball personnel/fans, & anyone with a platform to please share this story and bring Amina home safely. She needs medical attention and surgery ASAP.
No human should ever have to go through this!
Kentucky State WBB player Aminata Seck was arrested by ICE at Louisville's airport while traveling with her team in August; originally from Dakar, Senegal, she was named third-team All-SIAC last season after averaging 11.7 PPG and 7.3 RPG courier-journal.com/story/ne…
New venue, same mission. Honor the innocent lives lost and the first responders who risked everything to save them. ❤️

Prayers up for her family, friends and teammates.
