Deb Haaland, a candidate for governor of New Mexico and former U.S. Secretary of the Interior, has used her social media platform to highlight her campaign activities and policy priorities in recent posts.
On August 12, 2025, Haaland marked a milestone in her campaign by stating, "Our campaign has been on the move for 6 months, and now we've visited all 33 counties in NM. Everywhere we went, people are ready for leadership that will fix the broken system. I'm ready to lead the fight to lower costs, expand healthcare, tackle crime and improve our schools."
The following day, August 13, she expressed gratitude for union support while emphasizing healthcare as a central issue: "SEIU members go to work everyday with one mission: to get New Mexicans the healthcare they need, and I could not be more honored to have their support. I won’t stand by and let Trump take healthcare away from New Mexicans. I’m running for governor to protect New Mexico’s health".
Later on August 13, Haaland acknowledged education workers as students returned to school: "Wishing all the students going back to school a year full of learning, fun, and excitement. To all of the teachers, principals, janitors, cafeteria staff, and more: thank you, thank you, thank you -- your dedication to our kids is building a brighter future for our state."
Haaland's campaign messaging focuses on issues such as lowering costs for residents of New Mexico—a state where economic challenges persist—and expanding access to healthcare amid ongoing national debates about health policy. Her reference to visiting all 33 counties underscores an effort at statewide outreach during her gubernatorial run.
