Courtesy Rep. Teresa Leger Fernández When Teresa Leger Fernandez was elected to represent New Mexico s 3rd congressional district this past November, she became part of history: For the first time, the state had elected solely women of color to its U.S. House delegation, including her mentor Deb Haaland, who s now been confirmed as the nation s first Native American cabinet secretary. Leger Fernandez also became the first woman, and the first Latina, to represent her district. But for members of the 117th Congress, the 2020 election was only the beginning of what would be a critical legislative year. Just days after members were sworn into Congress, the Capitol came under attack. Shortly after, President Biden was inaugurated and Donald Trump s second impeachment trial began. Then in March, a year into the coronavirus pandemic, Leger Fernandez and her Democratic colleagues worked to pass the American Rescue Plan, Biden s first major COVID-19 relief bill.
