Arizona Sen. Peshlakai resigns, moves to Interior Department
PHOENIX (AP) — The first Native American woman elected to Arizona’s Senate has resigned to take a position with the U.S. Department of the Interior.
“I will begin work at the federal level in the new year and will be more impactful for all of the western United States,” Democratic state Sen. Jamescita Mae Peshlakai said in her resignation letter Wednesday.
Peshlakai resigned while midway through her third two-year term in Senate. She previously served in the state House. Her district includes much of northern and eastern Arizona, including the Navajo Nation.
She will now work under Secretary Deb Haaland's department. Haaland made history this year as the first Native American to serve as a cabinet secretary.
Details about her new role were not immediately made public.
