Deb Haaland, the current governor of New Mexico and former U.S. Secretary of the Interior, posted a series of messages on her social media account on December 3, 2025. The posts addressed topics ranging from election integrity to community initiatives and personal gratitude.
In a statement referencing concerns about election rights in New Mexico, Haaland wrote on December 3, 2025: "If Trump wants to violate New Mexicans’ right to free and fair elections, he has to go through me. I'm grateful we have a Secretary of State protecting New Mexicans and I'm ready as governor to do the same."
Later that day, Haaland promoted a holiday book drive aimed at increasing children's access to reading materials across the state. She stated: "Reading opens up the world for kids. This holiday season my team and I want to do our part to make books accessible for kids across New Mexico. Drop off any children's book tomorrow through December 19th from 9am-3pm at our Albuquerque Office!" This initiative encourages community participation by inviting residents to donate children's books at her Albuquerque office during specified hours.
On the same date, Haaland also expressed appreciation for birthday wishes she received. She posted: "Birthdays are special because they remind us of how far we’ve come and the people in our lives who make it that much better. Thank you to everyone who wished me a happy birthday—I’m grateful for my friends, my family, and this beautiful state."
Deb Haaland became governor of New Mexico after serving as U.S. Secretary of the Interior under President Joe Biden’s administration. As governor, she has continued her focus on civic engagement and educational opportunities within the state.
