Peggy Flanagan could be Minnesota’s first female governor, country’s first Native American governor

With the announcement Tuesday that Walz would join Vice President Kamala Harris on the national ticket, Flanagan could make history herself. If the national ticket wins the White House, Flanagan, 44, would then become governor, the first woman to hold the position in Minnesota and, as a member of the White Earth Nation, she’d be the first Native American woman governor in the nation.
