The pair is a particularly strong duo to deliver such a message given that Neguse, himself a graduate of CU Law, is Colorado’s first Black congressman and Haaland, previously a U.S. Representative from New Mexico, is the first Native American woman to hold a cabinet post.
“It’s an incredible achievement for our country that will inspire a generation of young people and people of color to pursue their dreams,” Neguse said of Haaland’s appointment. Haaland, whose office was next to Neguse’s during his first term, noted that the same can be said for Neguse’s election.

A former Japanese American internment camp in the southeastern corner of Colorado where more than 7,000 people were incarcerated during World War II could soon become a national park.
Legislation introduced Wednesday by Reps. Ken Buck, R-Colo., and Joe Neguse, D-Colo., would designate Amache, also known as the Granada Relocation Center, as a national historic site. It is one of 10 military-style prisons where people of Japanese descent were incarcerated during the first months of World War II.
“The nation is better today because of the lessons we have learned from our past. Preserving Amache serves as one of those hard lessons for the people of Eastern Colorado and the rest of our nation,” Buck, who represents the district where Amache is located, said in a statement.
