PHOENIX — United States Interior Secretary Deb Haaland plans to campaign for Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz in Flagstaff on Sunday ahead of the Nov. 5 general election.
Haaland will kick off a canvass launch at the Arizona Democratic Party field office in Flagstaff Sunday at 12 p.m. She will then participate in a Veterans for Harris Lunch in Tuba City at 3 p.m.
During these events, Secretary Haaland will discuss what’s at stake in the 2024 election for veterans, servicemembers and their families, according to a press release.
Haaland has served as the United States Interior Secretary since 2021. She is the first Native American woman to serve as a cabinet secretary and is one of the first Native American women to serve in Congress.
Haaland previously served as the U.S. representative for New Mexico’s 1st congressional district from 2019 to 2021 and as chair of the New Mexico Democratic Party from 2015 to 2017.
Haaland traveled to Arizona earlier this month to announce the delisting of the Apache Trout from the Endangered Species list with Gov. Katie Hobbs in Mesa and hosted a roundtable with Tribal representatives and leaders in Phoenix.
