Debra Norris of Gallup has been elected first vice chair of the Arizona Democratic Party and sits on the National Democratic Committee. A Navajo and Blackfeet representative for District 11 in Tucson, she is among the youngest state lawmakers and could be a key voice at the Philadelphia Democratic National Convention. Norris aims to push sovereignty and a Leonard Peltier pardon while pursuing re election to a third term in the Arizona House. She also serves on the Presidents Commission on Tribal Colleges and Universities advocating more tribal college funding. Norris faces primary competition in September but anticipates a redeeming general election with no Republican opposition in her district.
