hundreds more women who are running in every office from the top of the ballots to the bottom cross the country and yes i absolutely want to make sure that women get elected here in new mexico you know as far as i'm concerned if i want native women or women of color to run to be willing to help them get out there. and it's not just women native americans are also seeking office in two thousand and eighteen in previously unseen numbers. the government recognizes five hundred seventy three tribes making up some two percent of the us population. native americans have faced a long history of oppression including the government taking their lands and stripping them of their traditions today they still face higher poverty rates than the national average and one in three says they have experienced racism that's why thank you for coming to hear in much of her decision karen for you thank you so much irish. thank you carol we're going to say sure you work hard to make that happen he's got to make something more than what cyrus gray i better say as. there are already two native americans in congress both republican men from oklahoma. but the democrats who have been inspired to run say they felt insulted and marginalized by the trump administration paul and supporters want her to help wrest power from the republican controlled congress and stand up to a president who's been accused of sexism and even assaults. saying ok thank you for and i think that the earth needs to start changing to the woman power instead of this. caress of power and. i don't know if there is a mother but she is kind of a mother figure and mother figures are a lot more tender and nurturing and understanding than. the man energy i don't think she is a mother one who once had to feed her daughter using food stamps now she wants to set an example for future generations of women so they don't have to do the same when i think about you know our young native women these two beautiful young girls here who maybe in their lifetime will actually see a native woman in the congress whereas you know someone like me there was no one that i could. go to to say how did you do it and how you know how can we make this happen. but can the fifty seven year old lawyer bring major change to u.s. politics her supporters want to know whether she can stand up to the president if she wins. of course the number one question i get asked is. will you vote to impeach don't. i think. and so i think if we win back the house we have an opportunity to hold the republicans feet to the fire right because make that going to tap into the fact that we appreciate their expertise. and she believes she's found a way to reach that audience if you letter carrier for our house my dad would have left you a six pack of beer or whatever to pay for grad prayer a christmas present or something right there right ok felt it was important to to recognize you know the folks that make our lives better. call in hopes to convince the postal workers to turn out on election day and she's making her case based on her frustration with the president's republican party. they're worried about their reelection so they're not going to start a fight with trump even though they know he's extremely dangerous to this country. people want to know whether she can do anything about trump if she wins but she's trying to temper expectations even if she goes to congress she alone won't be able to get him out i would be ready to vote for impeachment. the only thing is that we need two thirds of the senate to to make that happen cross our fingers i think we can definitely win back the house but for her supporters it's enough to have an outspoken minority voice in power who will represent on her and to know that she is a native american in me i'm hispanic and i want somebody that is really different yet when they start getting he's not risen to show that they want to make a difference in this. hall and represents the progressive wing of her party as democrats grapple with what message will bring voters to the polls in november. she's taken a more leftist position on issues like immigration abortion and legalizing marijuana and she is especially concerned with the environment. that there is right here at the site n.p.r. yesterday there are five of these ballots full of plastic. you know oceans for every foot of coastline in the world so we're ruining our oceans with. so i almost think that if we allow this to blow around in new mexico and it right it lands in the rio grande a river there's a chance it could go into the ocean. pick it up. holland chalks up her climate policies in part to memories of her grandmother's pueblo at a time when there was no electricity or running water. i knew i knew i could maybe that's kind of where i learned to be very conservative with with our natural resources because when you're the one that has to go haul the water in buckets and bring them back to the house you know you try to make it last as long as you can and. she's promoted solar energy and keeping fossil fuels in the ground how are you going to and her message of protecting nature is one that resonates here you can tell there's a dry patch you're going to there it's very dry the fear of climate change. to save this place deb holland is drawing
