Deb Haaland and Peggy Flanagan Mark Their Historic Wins in Intentional Earrings

Last night, the 2026 midterm election results delivered plenty of historic firsts. It was a particularly powerful night for Native American representation: Democrat Deb Haaland became the first Native American woman to be elected as Governor of New Mexico, while Peggy Flanagan—the current lieutenant governor of Minnesota—became the first Native woman to win the U.S. Senate seat in her state. (And there could even be a third victory for the Indigenous community today: at the time of publishing this story, Alaska’s Mary Peltola is currently leading the race for a Senate seat, too.)

Not all candidates campaign for themselves

Many candidates for elected office spend months spreading their message any way they can in hope of winning their race. So what do candidates do when they don’t have an opponent? For Minnesota House Rep. Steve Elkins, who ran unopposed in his bid for reelection to House District 50B, the 2026 campaign was much like his past campaigns.

Beyond the candidates and their campaign teams, party loyalists helped spread the word about the DFL candidate in select districts around the state. And Elkins traveled to all 21 of those battlegrounds at least once during the 2026 campaign to stump for the DFL candidate. His travels took him to Ely, Austin and Winona, and points in between. Some of those trips took him to
