Phoenix — U.S. Interior Secretary Deb Haaland is scheduled 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 her campaigning at 12pm on Sunday at the Arizona Democratic Party office in Flagstaff, before attending a Harris Veterans Affairs luncheon in Tuba City at 3pm.
At these events, Secretary Haaland will discuss what matters to veterans, service members and their families in the 2024 election, according to a press release.
Haaland has served as U.S. Secretary of the Interior since 2021. She is the first Native American woman to serve as a Cabinet secretary and one of the first Native American women to serve in Congress.
Haaland served as the U.S. Representative for New Mexico's 1st Congressional District from 2019 to 2021 and served as Chair of the New Mexico Democratic Party from 2015 to 2017.
Haaland traveled to Mesa, Arizona, earlier this month to announce the removal of Apache trout from the endangered species list with Gov. Katie Hobbs, and hosted a roundtable with tribal representatives and leaders in Phoenix.
