Three Indigenous women are running for top statewide offices in the same year. And a fourth is defending the seat where she made history in 2018.
Mary Peltola, a Yup'ik leader and the first Alaska Native ever elected to Congress, is challenging Republican Senator Dan Sullivan and just outpolled him in Alaska's primary.
Peggy Flanagan, a citizen of the White Earth Nation, won her primary by roughly 20 points. If she wins in November, she'll be the first Native American woman ever to serve in the U.S. Senate.
Deb Haaland, a citizen of Laguna Pueblo and the first Native American Cabinet secretary, won her primary with more than 70% of the vote. She would be the first Native American woman ever elected governor.
Sharice Davids, a citizen of the Ho-Chunk Nation and one of the first two Native American women ever elected to Congress, is defending her Kansas seat after winning her primary with 83%.
Claire Valdez, a citizen of the Ysleta del Sur Pueblo Nation and a union organizer serving in the New York State Assembly, won her primary in New York’s 7th District this June — and is now poised to grow Indigenous representation in Congress.
