A voice like mine has never been a Cabinet secretary or at the head of the Department of Interior.
Growing up in my mothers Pueblo household made me fierce. Ill be fierce for all of us, our planet, and all of our protected land.
I am honored and ready to serve.

Me too, I was choked up when I saw this yesterday. Way overdue, and she's perfect for the job.

If that made you emotional, this will too. Amazed that it was a gesture by a REPUBLICAN....

I love to contemplate how the world would be different had the Native Americans prevailed.

It's long overdue for Native Americans to have an Interior Secretary who is uniquely aware of their needs.

Deb is an excellent choice for Secretary of the Interior. I hope a strong candidate will take her place as our representative. Even though we are usually reliably blue here, I can't help but remember when we had Heather Wilson in that seat. I was so glad when she lost!

it's better than when Republicans have one?
