Deb Haaland, a prominent political figure and candidate for governor of New Mexico, has recently used her social media platform to address several key issues facing the state. Through a series of posts made between November 15 and November 17, 2025, Haaland highlighted her positions on healthcare, tribal representation in government, and education.
On November 15, Haaland criticized federal policy changes affecting healthcare coverage. She stated, "The Trump Administration is gutting Medicaid and undermining the healthcare our families rely on. That’s why New Mexico is fighting for stronger rural healthcare, because our communities can’t afford more cuts. I’m committed to defending the care every New Mexican depends on." This message reflects ongoing debates over Medicaid funding and access to healthcare services in rural areas.
In another post dated November 16, Haaland expressed gratitude toward tribal communities while emphasizing the importance of their involvement in state governance. She wrote, "I thank the Pueblo of Picuris for their support and their trust in me to be the next governor of New Mexico. I am eager to collaborate with every community and ensure Tribes have a seat at the decision making table before decisions are made."
Addressing educational opportunities on November 17, Haaland advocated for expanding vocational training programs across New Mexico's high schools. She said, "We need to meet our students where they are and give them more opportunities. I want to bring the trades back to every high school across New Mexico so our students have a place to land after graduation with an apprenticeship."
These statements come as part of Haaland's broader campaign efforts ahead of upcoming elections in New Mexico. As a former U.S. Secretary of the Interior and current gubernatorial candidate, she has consistently focused on issues such as indigenous rights, public health policy, and workforce development throughout her career.
