Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan of Minnesota could become the first Native American woman to lead a state if the Democratic ticket wins in November. Flanagan, a member of the White Earth Band of Ojibwe, has been a strong advocate for Indigenous rights and has held significant political roles since her election in 2019. Her potential ascension to governorship would mark a historic moment for Minnesota and Native representation in politics.
