Deb Haaland actually said...

"here in New Mexico, struggle makes you fierce."

"the problems we face now are bigger than ever, and we must be fierce to solve them."

"New Mexico is rich in tradition and spirit, rich in natural resources, so why can't our families pay our bills?"

"Crime, poverty, homelessness, addiction. They will keep pulling us down if we do the same things and expect a different result."
