Deb Haaland, U.S. Secretary of the Interior and former U.S. Representative for New Mexico's 1st congressional district, recently shared several posts on her official X (formerly Twitter) account discussing campaign efforts, healthcare access, and economic concerns facing families in New Mexico.
On September 18, 2025, Haaland encouraged supporters to join her campaign team by writing: "Announcing another member of the Fierce Fam! Will you join our team? Text 'Deb' to 32403".
Later that day, she addressed healthcare challenges in the state and highlighted the role of Planned Parenthood in providing essential services. Haaland stated: "Planned Parenthood filled gaps in healthcare that I couldn’t afford and they still do that for thousands of New Mexicans. Trump and Republicans’ cuts take away cancer screenings treatment for STI's & other critical services. Proud NM is stepping up."
On September 19, 2025, Haaland turned attention to rising grocery costs affecting families. She wrote: "With grocery prices rising, too many families are worried about putting food on the table. I know what grocery store math feels like. Trump’s tariffs make costs worse – families need relief, and it’s my priority to make life more affordable."
Haaland's remarks come as discussions around reproductive health access remain a prominent issue nationally and within New Mexico. The state has been recognized for expanding protections for abortion care after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in June 2022.
Her comments on grocery prices reference ongoing concerns over inflation and increased consumer costs since 2021, which have impacted households across the country.
