DEMOCRAT DEB HAALAND IS AMONG NATIVE AMERICAN WOMEN TO WIN THEIR ELECTIONS. SHE’S NOW THE CONGRESSWOMAN IN THE FIRST DISTRICT. SHE WAS UP AGAINST REPUBLICAN JANICE ARNOLD JONES, WHO TOOK 36 PERCENT OF THE VOTE … AND LLOYD PRINCE, A LIBERTARIAN, WHO HAD FIVE PERCENT OF THE VOTE. IT’S BELIEVED HAALAND TOOK THE LEAD IN THAT RACE BECAUSE SHE RESONATED WITH VOTERS AS A SINGLE PARENT.
MEANWHILE, THE TIGHT RACE IN SOUTHERN NEW MEXICO’S 2ND CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT BETWEEN YVETTE HERRELL AND XOCHITL TORRES SMALL ISN’T BEING CALLED YET … DESPITE HERRELL’S 51 PERCENT OF THE VOTE TO 49 PERCENT FOR TORRES SMALL, WHO WANTS ALL THE VOTES COUNTED BEFORE SHE CONCEDES.
