The Democrat moving on in the race for the U.S. House Congressional District 1 seat is Deb Haaland.
Unofficial results show Haaland securing her spot in November with more than 40 percent of the vote.
Haaland is no stranger to politics and most recently chaired the state’s Democratic party voicing her stance against President Trump.
She’s now attempting to become the first Native American U.S. Congresswoman.
“Our win is a victory for all people around, a victory for women a victory for Indian country,” said Haaland.
She is set to face Republican Janice Arnold-Jones in the general election.
Arnold-Jones ran unopposed in the primary.
Her campaigning is set to pick up steam starting Wednesday.
The former state representative served in the House from 2003 to 2010 and says her experience in government and the values she shares with President Trump are what matter to voters here.
