Deb Haaland, a Democrat from the US state of New Mexico, became a co-author of the resolution on recognition of the Armenian Genocide.

“THANK YOU:  @RepDebHaaland (D-NM) - one of the first two Native American women ever elected to the US Congress - has co-sponsored H.Res.296, which aims to lock in permanent US recognition of the #Armenian #Genocide," the Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA) tweeted.
