Democrat candidate for New Mexico governor Deb Haaland did not exactly have a stellar life when it came to the law in her early years.
According to KJZZ:
A member of the Laguna Pueblo, Haaland was born in Winslow, Arizona, but describes herself as a 35th generation New Mexican. She spent her youngest years on the move as part of a military family, eventually settling in Albuquerque when she was 14.
