A voice like mine has never been a Cabinet secretary or at the head of the Department of Interior.

Growing up in my mother’s Pueblo household made me fierce. I’ll be fierce for all of us, our planet, and all of our protected land.

I am honored and ready to serve.

5. This nomination made me cry.

A Native voice....let’s all listen.

9. Me too, I was choked up when I saw this yesterday. Way overdue, and she's perfect for the job.

12. Me too. Kind of surprised how emotional these announcements are

[George II]

13. If that made you emotional, this will too. Amazed that it was a gesture by a REPUBLICAN....

...Representative Rodney Davis:

6. Perfect choice!!!

I love to contemplate how the world would be different had the Native Americans prevailed.

7. My daughter lives in Albuquerque, and is very happy with the pick.

It's long overdue for Native Americans to have an Interior Secretary who is uniquely aware of their needs.

8. Good for Joe and Deb. I live in New Mexico and I voted for both of them!

[Desert grandma]

11. I did too!

Deb is an excellent choice for Secretary of the Interior. I hope a strong candidate will take her place as our representative. Even though we are usually reliably blue here, I can't help but remember when we had Heather Wilson in that seat. I was so glad when she lost!

10. Is it just me, or does it seem that when Democrats have a "first,"

it's better than when Republicans have one?
