After passing a key panel today, New Mexico Democratic Rep. Deb Haaland is on her way toward a full Senate vote as she seeks the Interior Secretary spot.

Lisa Murkowski of Alaska. If confirmed, Haaland will be the first Native American to lead a cabinet agency, which includes the Bureau of Indian Affairs.
