Vice President Kamala Harris recently visited the Gila River Indian Community as part of the Biden-Harris administration’s ongoing commitment to Native American communities.
LAVEEN, Ariz. — Vice President Kamala Harris on Thursday visited the Gila River Indian Community as part of the Biden-Harris administration’s ongoing commitment to Native American communities and to tout its Investing in America agenda.
“They are run by people who live and work in the community that they serve – people who know firsthand the incredible potential in the community, people who understand the culture of the community, the language of the community and people who then work every day to realize the potential of the community,” Harris said.
The 19-mile pipeline will transport reclaimed water, thus reducing the community’s use of Colorado River water. The $83 million project is to be completed by the end of 2024. The bills would set national standards for voting, including two weeks of early voting, drop boxes in convenient locations and same-day automatic voter registration. They also are working to put voter registration sites in Indian Health Service locations, she said.
May Mercado, an elder of the Gila River community and the attendance clerk at Gila Crossing Community School, said she was honored that Harris chose to visit.
