Maine, USA - The Maine Democratic Party is thrilled to announce that former U.S. Representative Deb Haaland will be the keynote speaker at the Maine Democratic State Convention on June 1st. Haaland, a trailblazing leader and advocate for Democratic priorities, will bring her inspiring vision and experience to energize attendees and set the tone for the upcoming election cycle in Maine – including the stakes for abortion rights, health care for working families and seniors and our democracy.
Deb Haaland made history as one of the first Native American women elected to the United States Congress, representing New Mexico's 1st congressional district from 2019 to 2021. Throughout her tenure, Haaland championed issues such as environmental conservation, indigenous rights and social justice, earning widespread respect and admiration for her unwavering dedication to her constituents and the nation.

With Mainer’s fundamental freedoms on the line, we are confident her address will energize our attendees and galvanize our efforts to build a more just, equitable and prosperous Maine and ensure we deliver the state for President Biden and Vice President Harris once again this November and reject Donald Trump’s extremism once and for all."
