flag Deb Haaland unveiled a progressive affordability plan in Albuquerque, proposing a $14.50 minimum wage, AI rent bans, renewable energy expansion, and housing and food access reforms.

flag Deb Haaland, Democratic gubernatorial candidate and former U.S. interior secretary, unveiled a sweeping affordability agenda in Albuquerque, proposing a $14.50 minimum wage with automatic increases, banning AI-driven rent setting, and expanding renewable energy projects like SunZia to cut utility costs. flag She pledged to streamline housing approvals, limit short-term rentals, and combat food deserts by waiving permitting fees for rural grocers and mobile units. flag Haaland emphasized her working-class roots, citing her experience as a single mother and small business owner, and called for a Native American Business Incubator program to boost tribal self-determination. flag Her plan also includes paid family leave, expanded child tax credits, and holding energy firms accountable to prevent rate hikes. flag She faces competition from Bernalillo County District Attorney Sam Bregman, who has called for in-person debates, which Haaland has declined.
